Message: [QUOTE="HookC22, post: 3967868, member: 10578"] I agree. But there really is no other option in college baseball for conference tournaments. The timeline is too short. For the top conferences (including the American) it isn't as big of an issue because the strength of the conference will get multiple teams in and they sometimes get lucky if one of the "on the bubble" teams win their tournament. For the Big East, it is looking like a one bid league unfortunately. The conference tournament takes 5+ games on back to back games and maybe a double header out of the losers bracket. I don't have a real problem with this, like I said above, there's really no other option to get a tournament done in one week. The issue I have is that the entire regular season is built around 3 game series (in most conferences) but then regionals are back to a double elimination set ups and the 3 game series doesn't come back until the super regionals. I wish they would extend the play offs one extra weekend and make the regionals 3 game series at 32 sites at the higher seed. Would also increase the reach of the play offs and spread it to so many more locations. The College World Series also has some double elimination but again, not sure how to get around that without extending the set up to 3 weekends. [/QUOTE]
