We’re just a couple of days away from learning the NCAA baseball tournament’s field of 64. Georgia hasn’t played since Wednesday after losing its first game in the SEC baseball tournament, which is now down to four teams. Still, the Bulldogs are projected to get one of those coveted top eight seeds.

D1 Baseball, which had Georgia projected as the No. 5 seed before the SEC tournament, now has the Bulldogs at No. 6. That projection would put UGA in a host position for round one and, should it advance, round two as well. Baseball America also has Georgia as a No. 6 seed.

The Athens Regional projection is Georgia as the No. 1 seed, Wake Forest as the No. 2 seed, East Tennessee State at No. 3 and Utah Valley at No. 4. The Bulldogs are currently in possession of the nation’s No. 2 RPI despite being ranked No. 10 nationally by D1 Baseball.

If the publication is ultimately right about the Bulldogs, it would pit the winner of the Athens regional against the winner of the Tallahassee regional where, Florida State is the host. The Seminoles would have Northeastern (two seed), Mississippi State, and Bethune-Cookman to contend with.

Georgia finished the regular season with a 7-5 win over Texas A&M exactly one week ago. That was a rubber-match win for the Bulldogs, who earned a record of 18-12 in the conference. They also went 42-14 overall won a whopping 28 of 33 games at home while going 10-10 on the road. Georgia also went 3-0 in neutral site games in the regular season. That includes a win over projected No. 16 seed Georgia Tech at Truist Park last month.

Georgia was the No. 7 seed in last season’s NCAA tournament and hosted both the regional and super regional. The Bulldogs went undefeated in its regional, which included Georgia Tech, Army, and UNC-Wilmington. They hosted NC State in the super regional and fell one win short of the College World Series. UGA earned that national seed even after losing its first game in the 2024 SEC Tournament.
