The Texas Longhorns are receiving plenty of hype after being a consensus top 20 team to start the season. Now that we are at the halfway point, do the folks at D1Baseball and Baseball America have the Longhorns in their midseason NCAA Tournament projections?

D1 Baseball

D1 Baseball currently has the Longhorns hosting a regional as the No. 7 national seed. Jim Schlossnagle would potentially face off against one of his former schools in the TCU Horned Frogs in the Austin regional. UTRGV and Oral Roberts would be a potentially dangerous 3- and 4-seed for the regional at the Disch, though Texas will have at least gotten a look at UTRGV in a midweek contest following the Kentucky series.

Should the Longhorns advance, Texas would be set up to host any one of the teams coming out of the Chapel Hill regional. The Tar Heels are the 1-seed with West Virginia as the 2-seed, Kentucky as the 3-seed, and Columbia as the 4-seed.

Baseball America

BA offers a bit more of a bullish projection* for the Longhorns as they are slotted in as the No. 3 national seed with a very dangerous group of teams in the Austin regional. Dallas Baptist is a mid-major giant in baseball and would be a monster of a 2-seed as the Patriots are currently ranked No. 19 by BA. With Richmond and Austin Peay, this is as tough of a regional as a team could get.

Texas’ region pairs up with a familiar foe in Louisville who would love nothing more than to hand the Horns their first and last losses of the 2025 season. Interestingly enough West Virginia and Kentucky are in the adjacent regional, somewhat mirroring D1Baseball’s projection. So too does an Ivy League team, though BA has Yale winning that league instead of Columbia.

*Note that all hosts reflect the current Baseball America Top 25 rankings order of the top 16 teams.

Halfway through the season, the Texas Longhorns are looking to make their case for a national seed to set up a regional and potential super regional hosting situation at the Disch. Anyone that has followed college baseball for more than a year likely knows the importance of being able to host a regional and/or super regional.
