D1 Regional Predictions are interesting
#3 Tennessee
Connecticut
Virginia Tech
Niagara
#14 Georgia
Wake Forest
Southern Miss
Austin Peay
The Knoxville regional is ho-hum but that Athens region is INSANE.
The Georgia - Austin Peay opening game may take 6 hours to play.
Wake would be tempted to save Burns for a game against UGA BUT why save a guy that many of the UGA players had seen in prior seasons? But, many of the USM guys will remember Burns appearance in Hattiesburg as well but at least that was not a full game.
IMHO, Kentucky does not pass the "eye test" to be the national #1 seed.
D1 pairs up several SEC teams in Super region play
10 SEC teams are picked to make tourney with 7 hosting and 4 being national seeds
#1 Kentucky vs. #16 South Carolina
#2 Texas A&M vs. #15 UC Santa Barbara
#3 Tennessee vs. #14 Georgia
#4 Clemson vs #13 Duke
#5 Arkansas vs #12 Mississippi State
#6 North Carolina vs. #11 Virginia
#7 Florida State vs. #10 Oklahoma
#8 East Carolina vs. #9 Indiana State
Florida is picked as 3-seed at Duke
Alabama is picked as a 2-seed at North Carolina
Vanderbilt is picked as a 3-seed at Virginia
I'm not sure I "buy" South Carolina as a 16 seed. Especially since they close with UGA and Tennessee. So this pairing may take care of itself. However, WarrenNolan.com's computer predicts a SC sweep over UGA and 1-2 at UT.
Georgia and Duke as well as Mississippi State and Virginia could be swapped to avoid a intra-conference Super Regions. However, in some season, it appears the committee likes intra-conference pairings with SEC to limit 75% of Omaha fans chanting "SEC SEC SEC"
Clemson has the easiest region. Oregon, Coastal Carolina and Sacred Heart (No SEC teams)
Florida State has no SEC teams but does have tougher Troy and UCF teams
There's no SEC teams at all in the ECU/Indiana State pods.
Scaredy Cat!
Hell I would make you forget Willie Mays if I played Center field.YEP~ I want the easiest path back to Omaha, and we all know that's not thru a 13 seed Georgia. I'm almost certain you can sub in @knoxvol52 at center field, @chuckiepoo in left field and @cobbwebb0710 in right field and we'd still probably beat both the 8/9 seeds in this projection.
Is there a beer vendor on the RF side? If so, count me in!YEP~ I want the easiest path back to Omaha, and we all know that's not thru a 13 seed Georgia.

I’m not overly concerned about any team outside the top 10 coming to LNS! I like our chances against any of them! Let’s go!YEP~ I want the easiest path back to Omaha, and we all know that's not thru a 13 seed Georgia.

She sucks…I don’t care if she wins games. She never wins the big one. It’s different with Barnes since we don’t have that great a history but he won’t ever do it either. I get sick of only being good in things when I know titles can’t ever be won. I don’t care if they coach forever or you fire either tomorrow. Makes me just care about those sports less and less as the years go bye. Still pisses me off though.They just can’t take that next step, can they?
I wanted so bad to see Ralph and Karen win a title, hopefully Karen will get one.
I said they are curb stomping South Carolina….are we South Carolina? I certainly hope you don’t think we are. Didn’t we already play UGA at LNS and win 2 out of 3? Also if they keep playing like this they will be a top 10 team and we won’t match up anyway. You silly boy!And three posts ago you were ready for them to come to Knoxville with a trip to Omaha on the line.... lol
