D1 Baseball is doing their live “Fielding the 64” cast right now and they have kept Tennessee as the #2 overall seed but have put Wake Forest and Kansas State as our 2 and 3. Talk about a freaking brutal region for the #2 overall seed if that were to happen.

You get potentially zero help as a higher seed because they weight geography way too much. WF being our 2 when just last week they were potentially a host would suck. I have had this sneaking feeling for awhile now though that we are destined to draw WF. I think the Committee in all college sports puts this stuff together with storylines in mind, resumes be damned.

They just want the drama and the clicks. We won’t see them until a super regional, if they are lucky enough to win their regional…

Maybe. They aren’t the only outlet I have seen projecting WF. If we did draw them, it would obviously make for a fun and juicy regional, but at some point being one of the highest seeds possible should come with a favorable draw even if you have to ignore geography.

I guess they would have a difficult decision on their hands regarding their pitching. Do you throw Burns out there in Game 1 vs the 3 seed and get the automatic win or do you risk going into an elimination game with Tennessee throwing Burns? Either way I think we would win the regional, even with a loss to Burns. Can’t throw him twice in a regional.
