Looking ahead..

[CrookedLetta4Eva]

When we win the FSU regional, if Vandy wins the Clemson regional, do we host?

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

So I’m guessing we need to pull for Vandy to win that Regional?
Vandy at DNF for a Super ?

Vandy has the edge on us in record. What about RPI?
In this Super Regional era, it used to be that the higher seed gets the host, but if they were both 2 seeds (3’s etc), the NCAA decided who hosted. That was always a plus for us. We’ll sell more tickets than Vandy even in a half-built stadium.

Plus we could finally put an end to the whistler once and for all.

Warren Nolan has MSU #26 & Vandy #33 currently. FSU was #7 seed & Clemson was #10 or #11, so I guess Vandy was actually the higher #2 seed

I think we want Clemson. We do pretty well against national seeds.

It would be up to the Committee to decide which of us is the "higher" seed. Supposedly the fact that our stadium and environment is way better than theirs has no impact, but it almost certainly would subconsciously.

We have the better RPI, but their record against the top 50 is a little better, they finished higher in the standings, and they swept us. They also have a stronger SOS. Who knows what the Committee picks.

Clemson isn't a national seed. we just eliminated the national seed. vandy is up 4-3 on clemson right now.
pretty certain we would host if that scenario played out. would go to the bid and we win that against anyone

 

[Dawgzilla]

Clemson is the 10 seed.

 

[Palmettodog]

^^^^ Dat boy good^^^^

 

[DawgsOnTheWing]

Yep......

 

[Go Budaw]

“Looking ahead...” I think you know better.

Ha, no kidding. After this topsy turvy season, I’d be absolutely thrilled to play in a SR anywhere and against anyone. Don’t care whether its in Starkville, Clemson, Nashville, or Timbuktu.

 

[ScoobaDawg]

Clemson is the 10 seed.

There are only 8 NATIONAL seeds... 9-16 are regional hosts...

The top 16 seeds nationally were announced this year. If you don't want to call them National Seeds because that has been the terminology for the Top 8 prior to this year I guess that's fine, but they are still the Top 16 National Seeds.

ETA my understanding is that the delineation between 1-8 and 9-16 is that 1-8's are guaranteed to host a Super they qualify for and not to play each other. My understanding is also that if two 2 or 3 or 4 seeds advance to a Super it is a bid process for hosting and if a 2 and a 3 or a 2 and a 4 or a 3 and 4 advance, the higher seed hosts, assuming adequate facilities. If any of that is wrong, please correct me.

 

[Southern Law Dawg]

If it's us Vs Vandy, then both schools bid for the super. We will win that because we care more.

Per the NCAA web site, there are 16 national seeds

[FONT=&quot]From the NCAA web site last Sunday after the hosts were announced ...

The remaining at-large teams, top 16 national seeds, first-round regional pairings and site assignments [/FONT]will be announced at noon ET, Monday, May 28[FONT=&quot]. The one-hour program will be shown live on ESPNU. The committee will set the entire 64-team bracket through both the super regionals and the first round of the Men’s College World Series and will not reseed the field after play begins.[/FONT]
