Shocker! USC still predicted to host a regional

[18IsTheMan]

As of today (I would assume prior to the A&M game) by D1Baseball. I can't possibly imagine this being accurate and certainly not after today's game.

D1Baseball Field of 64 Projections: May 25 • D1Baseball

The latest D1Baseball projections have a slight seed change in the top eight, no new teams in the field, but two new Top 16 hosts.

		Columbia
		1 South Carolina (15)
		4 UNC Wilmington*
		2 North Carolina
		3 Grand Canyon*

Lol

Not a chance.

Kingston can stop the rationalizing why his team should host.
No way it is deserved. I will be shocked if we win more than 1 game in a regional.
Someone has some explaining to do at end of year as to why this can be allowed to continue.

 

[ToddFlanders]

That’s definitely better than not being projected to host! I’m more than a little shocked though.

You can count on Ray to 'splain!

$$$. Bigger gate. The surprise might be why we're not hosting as a 2-seed.

Is that possible?

Is that possible?

Yes. It's the only way King was able to host one back in 2021. We were the 2 seed and ODU was 1. But their facilities were not up to par with what the NCAA wants, so we got it.

Yes. I forgot. Thanks

 

[Bubba Fett]

If you look at the this prediction, there are now 12+ teams that are #2 seeds that are ranked, and have equal or better records than us. A few might not have the facilities, but most do. There is no way we host.

Well there’s a bunch of “baseball guys” on this forum who assured us last year Kingston was and has never been the problem. So…

Talk about a back door entry. That is the definition!

I cannot possibly imagine anyone who has seen us play over the last month thinks we are deserving of hosting. It would be kind of embarrassing for us to host. Even if they had us hosting yesterday morning, I'd have to think that seeing us be thoroughly shut down by A&M knocked us out.

 

[Prestonyte]

It would have to be strictly a facilities choice rather than a deserving team choice.
