Big East was the 7th ranked RPI conference just behind Pac12 and before Southern, CUSA, Coastal, Missouri Valley and American.

They played a brutally long early season schedule until the snow melted in Storrs with trips to Tampa, California, Alabama, California (8games), and then a game at Rhode Island before finally playing a home game against Long Island. That's 18 games away from Connecticut. They actualy won 2 opening weekend games in Tampa against South Florida and Louisville.

This is what Oklahoma gets for beating us in game 2 of the season….brought this on themselves.

That’s what they also get for dominating the Big 12 this year. If you include OU and Little T in with the SEC, that’s 8 out of 13 teams that couldn’t make it to supers.

Which teams below Tulane would you have put in the tournament, since you keep on about this. And what were their records? Because that is where the teams would have come from.

Charleston is the one team I really wished had gotten in. You go coach a D1 team to a 21-5 conference record and make your conference championship game and not even get a chance. Tell me how you would feel as a coach with all these mediocre SEC teams getting in. I’m tired of seeing teams be very successful in their league but can’t even sniff the NCAAT, especially whenever baseball is proven to be a fluky sport to begin with where the best team doesn’t always win. It’s too much to expect a team to go dominant a regular season and then also expect them to go win their conference tournament. A conference should never have 11 out of their 14 teams make the NCAAT. It’s just laughable.

I haven’t watched any baseball beyond the SEC.

How do we match up vs the ACC schools and others who could be in our bracket - if we prevail in supers?

All of the ACC teams on our side are quality opponents. UNC, FSU, and Virginia all have very good teams and should not be taken lightly. If we move on to Omaha and beat FSU in Game 1 then we would play the winner of Virginia/UNC. Everyone talks about the strength of the SEC but the ACC has a pretty decent shot at getting 5 teams in. 4 of them are hosting 3 seeds and the other one is playing a Georgia team that has been very inconsistent with their pitching. UNC and Clemson have the 4th and 5th best pitching staff remaining in the tournament but they also hit over 100 homers this year so they are the biggest challengers. If I had to rate them in order of complete teams I would probably go:

1. UNC
2. Clemson
3. FSU
4. Virginia
5. NC State

Thanks @ Pack22.

I guess the silver lining is we won’t have to play a SEC team. Plus, every team is difficult to beat in Omaha.

Same is true of SEC, they can get 5 in, just like the ACC.

Yes but the ACC teams have the easier path. Would you rather play a bunch of 3 seeds or another regional host?

ACC matchups:

3 seed UConn
3 seed Kansas State
3 seed West Virginia
1 seed Georgia
3 seed Florida


SEC matchups:

4 seed Evansville
1 seed Oregon State
1 seed NC State
1 seed Clemson
3 seed Oregon

It’s a huge plus. Also, the fact that there are three 3 seeds in the other supers is a huge advantage also. Have to think the law of averages play out and at least one of them make it through. Fantasy scenario would be to have UConn, Kansas State, and West Virginia in our CWS bracket.
