There is not a midweek game for No. 24 Ole Miss due to final exams taking place and the Spring semester wrapping up. That means there are only seven games remaining in the regular season.

Six of those are against Southeastern Conference opponents, starting Friday at Mississippi State and the Rebels still have important games to boost its NCAA Tournament résumé.

This week’s latest Field of 64 projections from D1Baseball and Baseball America still have Ole Miss (33-15, 13-11 SEC) outside of the hosting mix. To be expected after dropping the series at Oklahoma last weekend, its second in the last three weekends.

The Rebels are still heading towards the East coast and to the Carolinas, but with projections in both North and South Carolina.

D1Baseball’s projections have Ole Miss as the 2 Seed in the Chapel Hill Regional, joining host team and No. 7 National Seed North Carolina. Iowa (3 Seed) and Holy Cross (4 Seed) round out that regional that is paired with the Clemson Regional and the No. 10 National Seed Tigers.

The projections from Baseball America have things flipped, sort of. Ole Miss is the 2 Seed in the Clemson Regional with the Tigers being the No. 9 National Seed and paired with No. 8 National Seed Tar Heels and the Chapel Hill Regional.

Joining the Rebels and Tigers is Xavier (3 Seed) and Fairfield (4 Seed).

The metrics still have Ole Miss on the hosting bubble with a current RPI ranking of 16 due to some midweek losses from ranked teams ahead of them. There is a path to get back into the other side and bring postseason baseball back to Oxford.

This path requires do no worse than winning two from the Bulldogs this weekend and against No. 8 Auburn next weekend in the regular season finale. A stay beyond one game in Hoover, Alabama at the SEC Tournament is now also a must in the hosting equation.
