I think it depends on what happens today. I feel pretty good as of this moment but if Ole Miss and UNC win today it gets a lot dicier. IMO, State has the advantage over UNC right now because of head to head, road record and series wins. However, I think UNC would have the edge if they have the higher RPI (which they will) and the tournament title. If their only advantage is RPI, I like State's chances. As for Ole Miss I think it's simple. If they win they host, if not they don't. I think there's three spots up for grabs with State, UNC, Miami, Ole Miss, Oregon State and Texas A&M in the mix, possibly Creighton as a longshot.LegacyPack4 said:
Ethan-what does your gut tell you about our hosting chances?
Problem with them is they have one of the best pitchers in the country. Can State beat him or beat WVU twice? Idk. We saw how that went last yeargopack1979 said:
Here's hoping they send us to WV instead of G-Vegas.

State hasn't won any Championships in baseball, basketball, or football since Ark. has won its NCAA basketball championship with old Nolan Richardson.
Kinda. State really took care of business the last three weeks but basically forfeiting the FSU game was a killerPackchem91 said:Sounds something like the basketball season -- leave it in the hands of others, and sometimes those others take advantage.EthanBarry said:
Yeah State won't be hosting unless Ole Miss blows this game. What a bizarre hosting race. LSU, Ole Miss, UNC and WVU all had to go on runs to knock State out and that's exactly what happened. I think Oxford or Corvallis is State's best shot to win
Getting run out of a game where a guy started his second game of the season didn't help. I get GaT was good, but when you score 2 runs over two games.....then you leave it open for others to fill your spot.EthanBarry said:Kinda.

Always best to host.

I would normally say yes but this team seems to play better away from home. We really have no home field advantage as can't remember last time we had more than 50% of the fans show up for a game. When was last time we hosted and actually advanced to supers?
