Coastal Carolina eliminates the Barn in their own Super.  Tennessee eliminated, but by Arkansas, so that's kind of a wash for the conference.  Just two SEC teams to Omaha.  Not quite the showing I thought we might have for the "toughest conference in college baseball."  And guaranteed no all-SEC CWS since LSU and Arkansas are in the same bracket.  Which is probably just as well, same-conference championships are lame anyway.  

Oregon St. being one of the two schools trying to hold the PAC together (PAC-2 ?), maybe it's good exposure in some way for the overall brand for osu to return to Omaha.  

Ugh.  Even a post about the CWS winds up reminding me of how the SEC and Big Ten are eating everything on the planet, Galactus-style, and how disillusioned I am with college sports in general.

That's exactly what we plan on doing to them.  Again.  :)

We stand no chance if the razorback is really that much bigger than the tiger.  

Also he appears to be possessed by Satan, and that seems unfair.

I still don't love LSU's chances in the double-elimination, 4-team format.  Much like the regionals vs. Supers where I liked LSU's chances better in a best-2-of-3 rather than the regional format even though the competition in a Super would probably be superior, I'm not convinced this LSU team is equipped to handle the loser's bracket or even a loss from the winner's side.  

You could be right, but even if LSU were to beat Arkansas in game 1, I could see them not winning the bracket.  I hate to say it, but making it to Omaha is probably about the highest achievement this team could've hoped for.

I've seen what I consider the absolute best teams lose a tough one in Game1 and just never be able to recover.  Coming out of the loser's bracket is incredibly tough.  A little bad luck in Game1 or even Game2 and your ride could be over quick, even for the very best.

That's true, but even nailing whoever emerges from the loser's bracket would be tough for this team.  We won g1 and g2 in our regional, but then lost to the winner of the loser's bracket, then in the elimination game needed some heroics and good fortune.  There's really two pitchers who have been reliable, and everything is a toss-up after that.  And this CWS bracket is going to be a lot tougher than our regional.  

Anderson and Eyanson could put on clinics and the bats could stay hot for two games, and we still could lose two more games to any of these teams.  And that's if we can even avoid the loser's bracket.

Our coach, on the Razorbacks:  "Yeah, they're the most talented team in the country.  There's no question about that."

Our players, probably:  "Um....thanks, coach...."
