Message: [QUOTE="kingdobbs, post: 4322784, member: 1655"] The NCAA selection committees don’t generally go for very strict bracketing, in that #1 overall plays #64 overall, and so on. Only the sixteen regional hosts are technically “seeded” by the baseball committee in a strict rank; the rest are divided into “seed bands” and are moveable within those bands pretty readily. The committee has rules that they’re directed to follow such as “No intra-conference matchups possible before the Superregionals” and to try and place teams to a regional as close to them as possible, or if they think putting X team in Y bracket would be a neat matchup or whatever. Basically it’s not really all that easy to extrapolate a ranking in the committees mind from merely what regional we were placed into. It might be [I]close[/I], but not precisely identical. [/QUOTE]
