Doesn't get much easier than that in a regional....

 

[msstate7]

Doesn't get much easier than that in a regional....

My thoughts exactly.

 

[57stratdawg]

Doesn't get much easier than that in a regional....

Yeah, that's a red carpet regional.

 

[MSUDC11]

If we get that.... My goodness.

My only fear would be Florida in a Super. I think they'd beat FSU. I expect them to be a Top 15-caliber team by the time June rolls around. They are my pick to win the SECT.

 

[CEO2044]

Florida's coach isn't that good to me, so I'd be rooting for that.

 

[Steakonastick]

We won't get a better game one match up then JSU. Just hope we aren't the unlucky 1 seed who has to face that 4 seed with a sure fire ace.

My question, who in the world would be our 4th starter in a regional?

 

[engie]

Man, I'm thinking you go with one of our questionable guys against JSU and save all 3 of your sure things.

No doubt. Game 1 would be Evan Mitchell, Woodruff, Cox, or Fitts. Pollo, Graveman, and Lindgren would never see the mound against JSU. Even though we have a tendency to play SWAC teams close.

And Myles Gentry out of the pen.

 

[615dawg]

Simple geography says if Jackson State or Valley were to win the SWAC and we were hosting, that we would have a good chance to get them as the 4 seed. If Southern or Prairie View wins, they would probably head to LSU. USM would be a 4 seed if they won the C-USA Tourney.

Potential 4 seeds you don't want:

Bryant
Wichita State
St. Louis
New Mexico
Southeastern Louisiana
Belmont
Central Arkansas

 

[patdog]

That's about as good as we could possibly be set up for a CWS run. It'd be nice to get some revenge on some Gator *** in the super regional in Starkville this time.

 

[Seinfeld]

I don't have much knowledge in terms of how this seeding works so this may have nothing to do with the proposed matchup with FSU, but would a pairing with the #8 national seed not indicate that we're on the bubble of being one of the national seeds?

 

[patdog]

Not necessarily. They seed the national seeds #1-#8 and match them up in the CWS accordingly. But after that, the other 8 #1 seeds are all equal, all #2 seeds are equal, etc. Matchups are based on geography, conferences, and luck of the draw. I do think right now, we're closer to a national seed than we are to a #2 seed, though.

 

[patdog]

Not sure I'd have the guts to go that far down the rotation. But I'd definitely go with my #3 starter though. And really, you're probably right that you should go with #5 in that situation.
