Ummm @NCAA ?

[College Baseball News @CollegeBSBNews]

For the first time ever, NONE of the teams who made it to the College World Series the previous year reached a super regional the following season.

Arizona, Arkansas, Coastal, Louisville, LSU, Murray State, Oregon State, and UCLA are all eliminated.

[64Analytics @64Analytics]

The amount of illogical arguments from the selection chair was astounding.

- SOS matters, unless you’re Southern Miss where you didn’t get rewarded
- Out of state travel matters unless your teams like Florida who never left the state
- Weekends in March are determining factors for teams on the bubble, but weekends in May have little impact for hosting
- Mercer didn’t play enough hard teams: except for OSU, Georgia Tech, and Troy
