95huskers Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 As of 5-15-2014; See all here: http://www.chasingomaha.com/college-baseball-news/chasing-omaha-regional-projections-5152014.html Bloomington Stillwater 1 Indiana (4) 1 Oklahoma State 2 Kentucky 2 Louisville 3 Bryant 3 Nebraska 4 Ball State 4 Creighton I don't get this--if only two B1G teams make it, why would the NCAA potentially force them to play each other if they win their respective regional series? I'm thinking more along the lines of Rice, Houston, or Ft. Worth, if they're going to force Nebraska to play in (former) Big XII territory. I agree... it would be stupid... but with all these mock-ups of what it may look like, there are so many opinions, its more volatile then march madness... who knows other than the top 7 or 8 what will happen Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I don't follow baseball near as closely but it seems to me that it would be similar to the NCAA basketball tournament - people can do a pretty good job of predicting the seeds but it's mostly pointless to try to predict the region (except for the #1 seeds). Perhaps it is more structured in baseball? Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 yeah it is very pointless to predict regions... it will be interesting to see though... i really hope we can win the tourny and get a 2 seed... hopefully at home if it works out... Quote Link to comment

Perhaps it is more structured in baseball? In baseball I think every seed matters. Because if you're a two seed and the "Top 8 National Seed" gets knocked out you have a chance to host the Super Regionals as long as the other team is a two seed or lower. What would we consider a success this year in the postseason. After the Big Ten tourny of course. Quote Link to comment

Giving a 1 seed a run for their money. Forcing a game 2 for the final, that is of course if we are not the 2-0 team going into the final.... Quote Link to comment

I suppose Stillwater is plausible, but I doubt the NCAA would be foolish enough to put another B1G team in across from DoNU. Quote Link to comment
