First up today in College Walkoff Series is an elimination game. Whose season ends? Noles? Cavs?

Do the Noles have an 🍊 hangover? Or are Cavs suffering with the Carolina Blue flu?

As long as they both use up their bullpen today, don't think I care who win.

I don't know how FSU comes back from our game. If they do win, we'd better beat UNC. I'd rather not face FSU again.

My understanding is they didn't have much of a bullpen to start with. Unless their starter can go 8-9 innings today, not sure how that would fare against us or UNC in their 3rd game. I would rather let the 2 ACC teams figure it out though.

Go Vols!!

Magical powers update for Monday's games.... N2/R1 kensucky will "win the coin toss" and be home vs. N3/R1 aTm and N10/R1 NCSU will be home against -/R3 florduh. Prepare to be mystified and amazed!

Pretty wild that the Top 4 seeds are all in the winner’s bracket. I wonder when the last time the best of the best accounted for all 4 teams?

OK you made me check... but I am only going back for the 64 team brackets. It happened one time in 2001. Even getting 4 national seeds in the winners bracket is pretty rare (2017, 2011, 2001)... The bs after the seeds are things I found interesting but nothing to do with 1st round winners. I did not back check so there are probably some mistakes.... was up late last nite and only had one or two sips of java this am.

2023 1, 2, 5 (BaseVols made 4 clempson sad)
2022 No national seeds in semis and I was not very interested in the CWS for some reason that year
2021 4, 7
2019 2, 6
2018 5, 6, 9
2017 1,3,4,7
2016 5 (Coastal champs)
2015 4, 7
2014 3, 7
2013 1
2012 2, 8
2011 1, 2, 4, 6
2010 6
2009 1, 3, 5
2008 2, 8 (regional 4 seed Fresno champs)
2007 2, 3, 5
2006 1, 2
2005 1, 3, 7 (BaseVols took out 2 GT in SR)
2004 1, 3
2003 5, 6, 7
2002 2, 5, 8
2001 1, 2, 3, 4 (BaseVols lost to 2 Miami twice... 1st round and semifinals... Miami won the NC so we can claim 3rd)
2000 2, 4, 8
1999 1, 2, 5, 6

And the Aggies would escape 3-2, the fourth one-run decision in a row to open the MCWS. That’s never happened before. It had been a classic first two days and people were already trying to decide what it meant. “This is the golden age of college baseball.” Schlossnagle said. “I've been around it 35 years. It's never been this good.”

there is still the evening out of home and visitor, but both were visitor and free shoes is the higher national seed so free shoes is home (#3c in @WillisWG post below)

If virginia is winner of this elimination game, they will be home vs the loser of the BaseVols vs. tardheels (#1 in @WillisWG post below)

If free shoes wins this elimination game, they would be home if they play the BaseVols (#1 in @WillisWG post below) but visitors if they play the tardheels (#3b in @WillisWG post below)

Not according to


HOME TEAM

The highest-seeded teams advancing from super-regional tournaments shall be the home teams for the first-round contests. In the event of a match-up between equally seeded teams, a coin flip will determine the home team. One team will be designated as “heads”, the other team will be designated as “tails” and the coin will be flipped by the NCAA representative. Heads and tails designation will be determined by alphabetical order of the name of the institution (i.e., first alphabetically being heads, second alphabetically being tails).In subsequent games, the home team shall be determined according to the following formula:
1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times shall be designated the home team.
2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor, then the team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team.
3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor, the games committee or the NCAA site representative(s) shall observe the following procedures in the order stated:
a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game shall be the home team in the game in question.
b. The team that was visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors in their preceding games.
c. If the two teams are different seeds, the better seeded team will be designated as the home team.
d. If the above procedures do not resolve the matter, the home team shall be determined by coin toss. The coin toss will be held on the field immediately after the game that caused the situation to develop and both coaches are requested to be in attendance. The higher seeded team can determine whether it will call the coin toss, or defer the call to its opponent. In the event of a match-up between equally seeded teams, one team will be designated as “heads”, the other team will be designated as “tails” and the coin will be flipped by the NCAA representative. Heads and tails designation will be determined by alphabetical order of the name of the institution (i.e., first alphabetically being heads, second alphabetically being tails).

If the coaches and players for FSU have not moved on and continue to dwell on that check swing call, they are toast. Hopefully for them it is only the fans that have dwelled upon it.

We need to focus on the win - if we win today, we will ultimately play the ACC survivor of their mini-playoff. Let's Go Vols!
