College Baseball.
Things continue to look really good for Baylor to make a return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2019. We had the Bears as a three-seed in our latest projection @BaseballAmerica. Now up to No. 32 in RPI with a 9-7 record in Big 12. That's two-seed talk.
Imagine a team remaining undefeated all the way through the regular season and through the NCAA tournament with a lot of media talk about how they are one of the best college basketball teams ever.
The story doesn’t end there.
That team then meets a Baylor squad in the National Championship game that utterly dominated them through the absolute entirety of said game completing the greatest rebuild in college basketball history.
