Ok, now using only the uniforms in the image, what are your favorites other than Tennessee?

Here are my top 5:

1) Miami - goes great with their old English M on the cap - beautiful uni
2) Ole Miss - that red just pops off the baby blue
3) North Carolina - it's remarkably close to the San Diego uni, but I give the nod to the navy blue piping as opposed to the white
4) UCLA - classic
5) LSU or Florida St would normally be up here for me, but they picked the wrong jerseys for the image, so I'm going with that orange Auburn jersey

I’ve always liked Miami’s unis and that Ole Miss is pretty sharp. As you said, UCLA’s is classic.

I would say for me my Top 5 would be similar to most others. In particular order:

- UCLA: Just a clean, classic look. Baby blue is a great baseball color.
- Ole Miss: Similar to UCLA, that powder blue jersey is just awesome. I’m not quite as high on their others. Their red jersey is kind of ugly IMO. And the navy one with red letters just feels like a Red Sox knock off.
- Oregon: it’s just different. I like how vibrant the green and neon yellow are together. It pops on the field.
- Arkansas: I think most other jerseys are just kind of meh, but their Sunday creams are very nice. It’s a pretty classic looking uni and it goes well with the maroon.
- Texas: I just like classic looks and their jersey is pretty subtle but just looks good on a baseball diamond.

Thoughts on our path to supers and then Omaha? I’d love to hear feedback from those familiar to the schools outside of SEC.

Something tells me Notre Dame will come out is their region and face our Vols. Just my $.02

Some honorable mentions for me:

Some of those gold jerseys like Wake Forest, Army, Texas St, and even Vandy are nice. I like the fonts of Wake and Army over the other 2.

Georgia Tech, Michigan, and Dallas Baptist with the nice dark blues.

Love that San Diego uni, but I just forced myself to choose between that one and UNC for the top 5.

Someone above mentioned Oregon - that is pretty nice.

Binghamton, Hofstra, Alabama St, Central Michigan, Canisius, and SE LA need to go back to the drawing board. Someone tell the Chippewas to give the soccer team their jerseys back.

U had a good series against the Dawgs

Took 2/3 vs UGA and swept VT.

Elite offense, with horrible pitching. If our pitching is just average, we have a shot in most games. It's just hard to overcome how bad they are, especially game after game. We truly can beat anyone, and lost to anyone. Tourney format just isnt good with a pitching staff like ours.

Our ballpark might just accentuate both your strength and weakness. We have a bit of a short porch (though not as drastic as some would lead you to believe), but the ball also tends to carry pretty well. Your sweep over VT is eye-opening. Was that at GT? Or on the road?

I understand the highest seed hosts the super regional but how are the matchups decided? Is it predetermined which regionals will meet? Is their a seeding formula?

Sorry if this has already been covered.

I think I got it, the highest national seed will be matched against the lowest seed, I.E. 1-16. Right?

Yes - it's predetermined. So, if all the host teams win, you'd have 1v16, 2v15, etc. No matter who wins our regional, the winner will play whoever wins the GA Southern regional. I'm sure they have all 64 teams ranked, so if 2 non-host teams win their regional, they'll know who hosts the super regional between those 2. Some schools aren't capable of hosting at all, but for the most part they would just use the overall ranking they came up with.

Liberty jerseys are nice. I’m a sucker for the baby blue so I like a lot of those.
