NAIA World Series is a 10-team double elimination bracket.

LSUS has won a pair of 6-3 games over the 10 seed and the 4 seed and are one of two undefeated teams left. They play the other undefeated team today, the 6 seed Southeastern University, who may have the best shot at beating them. LSUS has never beaten Southeastern, and they are both baseball powerhouses in the NAIA.

Boyd's World ratings obviously have LSUS #1. But Southeastern is a strong #2.

They did everything they could (win every game), so they deserve a lot of credit, but I still say it says more about competition. Baseball teams playing even remotely comparable competition don't win 56 games in a row.

You also wonder if there's some massive recruiting scandal that may or may not ever come out. You don't just suddenly get that much better than everyone else at your level legitimately.

NAIA rules are like the Wild West. You can be 40 and play for an NAIA school. They also end up with pretty good international athletes because the NAIA's definition of "professional" and the NCAA's is vastly different. Lots of semipro soccer players from South America on NAIA campuses.

Baseball isn't really like soccer. You get an international kid here and there but it's not like soccer. Transfers are bigger in baseball. Lots of G level transfers and Juco transfers.

If they beat Southeastern tomorrow, LSUS wins the NAIA Title

If Southeastern wins, it’s winner-take-all on Saturday

If you aren’t cheating, you’re not trying hard enough

Yep, I wonder how many teams will go back to bag men. NIL money is taxed. This phrase applies to all sports.

Remember Lake Speed and NASCAR? I met his lawyer in LA. She said he got caught with nitrous in the roll bars of his car. He just vanished from NASCAR and I would have never known this until I spoke with her. She never said his name. She simply said he was banned from NASCAR and what he did. She was dating my best friend.
