Well who’s going to win it?

If Texas can get passed Rice in game 1 then I think they take the whole thing based on having pitching depth second to none.

I believe Stanford will make the final game for the third straight year and lose yet again.

If not for Stanford’s two titles in the late 1980s, the team would be angling for its spot as the Buffalo Bills of college baseball.

Holy crap! I knew ND was going for the first time in like 43 years, but how in the world did they get the #1 seed? Is that arbitrary, or because they beat FSU?

Anyone?

When was the last time a team from Florida hasn’t gone to the CWS?

Georgia Tech. After years of having a team expected to do well, it’s kind of fun to see them hit the big time with a team loaded down with freshmen.
