No conference has ever gotten more than 10 teams into the tourney (SEC 3x, ACC 1x). SEC gets 11 this year. Book it.

Need to stockpile the wins prior...austinag1997 said:
The back end of our SEC schedule is tough. Vandy, LSU, and Arky. Will be an intersting watch going forward.
twk said:This. You can also add the 1990 Aggies to this, as they were ranked 25 at the end of season (if I recall correctly), but missed out on the SWC tournament (only four teams) in part because Rice had a home game against t.u. rained out (Rice likely would have lost). Of course, it was only a 48 team field back then, but it's still unlikely that a team that doesn't make Hoover will get an at large bid.jkag89 said:While not impossible, highly unlikely. There is basically an unwritten rule that to earn a spot in NCAAs a team needs to make its own conference tournament. This is why, along with the expansion from 48 to 64 teams in the NCAAs, most league tourneys have become unwieldy in that conferences want to limit the number of reasons to leave out a team. In 2011 LSU had a overall good record and solid RPI but failed to get an invite because they did not make to Hoover. This is why the SEC tournament is the way it is and will expand to all teams in a single elimination format when t.u. and OU join the league.OKCAGS said:
Agreed . There could be a team that does not make it to Hoover ….. yet still gets in NCAA Tourney.

Oops, not the thread I thought I was posting on.
It is obviously my fate to get a time out at some point during this MLB season. I accidently post on the wrong thread at least once a month. Must stay away from the Rangers thread until the CWS is over so as not to endanger me performing my duties on this board.RED AG 98 said:PERMA!!!jkag89 said:

The number one seed hasn't won it all since 1999.DGrimesAg92 said:

This is by no means a prediction due to it being way too early and a bunch of factors, but so far, it looks like things may fall somewhere along these lines:
17 wins and top 5 -- National Seed (16+)
18 wins and top 4 -- National Seed, probable top 10, possibly top 8 depending on ACC
19 wins and top 4 -- National Seed in top 8, but could be scattered anywhere in there
20 wins -- National Seed top 4
SO FAR, it looks like an SEC or ACC team will get the top national seed. Oregon State is likely to drop too far due to their SOS alone. Plus, if they get swept by SC this weekend, that itself may end their chance at the top seed, though they still could get a top 8 and certainly national seed.
It will be interesting to see what the committee does with a 45+ win UC Irvine.
This. We're only interested in Top 8. Go get it.CapCityAg89 said:
Just so we're clear - National seed means top 8. As in super regional host.

Impossible conclusion right now without knowing what else happens, in my opinion. We could have 16 W and finish 5th in the league.
We are playing at South Carolina. Vandy is at home.ChemEng94 said:
Well, first leg accomplished. Now let's get at least two at Vandy.
