Did you ever get to attend one of the old 6-team regionals?  Preferably with your own favorite school hosting?  You might be too young, they killed that format in 1998.
It was really, really special.  Way more fun than a 4-team regional.
No.

The weather is really screwing up this year's CWS.

Tigers-Royals to play in Omaha next year the week of the CWS in a game that will probably have less real major league talent than some of the CWS games

Texas Tech eliminated.

Oregon St would have to beat Miss State twice to make the final series.
Florida would have to beat Arkansas twice to make the final.

Florida's good enough to do it, but I'd think the pitching rotation has got to be stretching thin at this point?  Your 1 and 2 are as good as any in the country (probably better than any in the country), but Kowar pitched a lot against Texas.  Maybe Singer could come back in a potential game 2?

MSU has been fun to watch, good for them pulling it together after all their troubles this season.  Oregon State has some grit, but I think the Bulldogs have more at this point.  Should be a fun final couple days of bracket play.

I always find the 2-for-1 games fascinating. Does the team that’s down have the arms? Does the one that’s up throw it’s best first to try to ice it, hold off looking ahead a little bit? Can an offensive surge in a big spot swing it?

The team in the winner's bracket generally has the luxury of throwing its 3rd weekend starter, and should definitely do so, because then its rotation is set up once again for the best-of-3 in the final series.  The team in the loser's bracket is most likely already burned, being forced to throw a midweek starter in game 4, and then scrape together some kind of Johnny All-Staff if they're able to take it to Game 5.
Of course, that all assumes you have a legitimate 3rd weekend starter.  In the case of  Texas this season, we didn't even have a legitimate Friday or Saturday guy, mush less a Sunday starter, which is why I'm proud of how well the team played down the stretch.  It really had no business being in Omaha this year, but we actually get our two best pitchers back from injury next year, plus all of these role-players that stepped up late in the year.  The Longhorns are going to be a much better baseball team next year.

All the more remarkable after having 3 first round pitchers drafted the last two years.....Sully's a helluva recruiter and pitching guru.  He hasn't shied away from pitching the 'other' guy rather than pushing Singer up a day for a big game this year, so we'll see if that holds in Omaha.
