If give DBU a host. You could have a regional of something like DBU, TAMU, and TCU which would be a matchup committee would probably like.

Or ...

DBU
Texas
Aggies
TCU



Only if they keep us at a 3

And they're not dropping frog to a 4

Or ...

DBU
Texas
Aggies
Tech

Again, 4 seeds are auto qualifiers from smaller conferences. Neither Tech nor TCU will be 4 seeds.

D1 and all the other sites put in #4 seeds based on who is ahead in conference or likely to win the confernece tourney

Other then say 4-5 spots that may be bid stealing it doesnt matter who they plus into the #4 spots until tourneys are done

So when they do the projections dont even bother with #4 seeds until the actual smaller conferences are finished

looking deeper at possible destinations for a 2-seed A&M team...

- figure 7 SEC hosts...those are out

- #23 RPI UConn is a perfect fit for Boston College's regional

- #1 Wake Forest should get a cupcake regional...which means no SEC teams

so that leaves:

- Stanford
- Miami
- Clemson
- Virginia
- Coastal Carolina
- Oklahoma State...if the pokes can win some games at Globe Life

the same destinations apply to Tennessee...surefire 2-seed


Good. For some reason I think we end up at Clemson.

a few notes...

A&M and Virginia have never played in baseball

A&M and Stanford have only played once...in the 1997 Stanford regional

A&M and Clemson have only played 3 times...and we remember those 3 games very well

As do Kevin O'Sullivan and Tim Corbin, who were assistants on that Clemson staff.

RPI is 32, +3 SEC wins, I think we're looking bueno. Whorns fell to 30 in D1's RPI

Honest question. Are we safely in? I'd have to imagine it's close.


Do we host a regional?

We probably needed to beat Bama to go along with our deep SECT run and even then probably not.

Even the NCAA waits until SEC Tourney is over to announce host sights, which isn't the case, there are several SEC schools that would still be ahead of the Aggies in the pecking order.

Ok…I think we're getting close to an invite. One more win should do it.

I don't know Luke. Birmingham might overturn the victory if it goes to replay.

2 seed vs 3 seed is much in terms of what we would have likely had if we didnt do well in the SEC tourney however it is big

Home team in first game and depending on how the rest of whatever regional we are in could be home team 2 or three times

New rules the higher seed is home team every game. Being a 2 is important

Here for my helping of crow.

I have said several times the Ags would not make the tournament. In my defense, we really haven't had the good pitching we saw in Hoover. The pitching we saw against Vandy was more in line with what we saw for the season. If the Ags continue to get pretty decent pitching, there is a chance of advancing to the super-regionals. If not, we won't. So in the mean time, serve me up a helping of crow.
I know NOTHING!!!!

I don't understand Aggies betting against the team doing well. So bizarre.

100% agree. But I'll gladly take their money. I think I've won all but 2 wagers over the last 6-7 years, I've made 30 or more. And they have all paid.

Risk mitigation: "I told y'all. We suck. I make money" or "Glad to be wrong. Let me eat crow. I'm happy to pay".

Ok. But they're rarely right in their pessimistic predictions.

That's because most of those people don't understand how baseball works.

I prefer to have optimism and say "yeah we got this, we will make it" and then if we don't, I was wrong. It's a more fun way to go through life being positive

Agree. Being preemptively pessimistic seems like a horrible way to live.

Especially since it's baseball when it only takes one guy getting hot at the right time or someone remembers to throw strikes, which then changes the whole team dynamics. Better to start slow and end hot than fizzle out in April due to attrition.

I don't really understand the regional process. If you win the SEC tournament, is it an automatic bid? Or does your season stats still affect whether you get in?
