Eight College Baseball teams were given top eight seeds which the History of the NCAA playoffs is that the top eight always host Super Regionals next weekend. Not this year how ever, as five of the eight have lost on their home field twice this past weekend and in a few cases to never heard of teams.
Nine of the 16 host teams failed to win their regional on their home field. To say the least college baseball is turned upside down as the power house teams are home next weekend and quite a few no names will be featured.
The only four seed to win was College of Charleston who won in the Florida Regional. Oregon State lost their Regional to number three UC Irvin. Another number three Kennesaw State won in Tallahassee. Well who is Kennesaw State? They are located 25 miles north of Atlanta and have an enrollment of 25,000 so it is no small fry even though you have never heard of them.
Stanford a number three won the Indiana Regional. Out west Pepperdine another number three took care of Cal Poly. The other four winners were number two seeds so these were considered top 32 teams so those four are not shockers winning. Texas won at Rice, Houston won at LSU, Texas Tech won at Miami and Maryland won at South Carolina.
Both of the teams from North Carolina are out with Campbell winning their first ever NCAA playoff game and North Carolina playing this weekend about the way they have played all year. 2-2 after going 16-14 during the regular season in the ACC.
The ACC has two teams that has survived to make it to the sweet 16. They will collide against each other in Charlottesville Virginia this weekend. Will be rooting for the Hoos as they play the quitters(of the ACC) Maryland. Sure don't want the Maryland Terps to make it to the College World Series. Wouldn't it be something the Maryland of all people brings a National Championship to the ACC.
