NCAA Baseball Tournament: Staff Predictions

The Road to Omaha officially begins on Friday. Sixty-four teams start their journey Friday in one of 16 Regionals nationwide. Eight teams will make it to Omaha; after this weekend, 16 will still be in contention. The regional round is a double-elimination tournament, and the winner advances to the Super Regional round.

Earlier this week, we previewed each of the Regionals with an analysis of which team should win each Regional and which team will be the last eliminated. Read that article here.

Some KillerFrogs staff have predicted which team will come out of each Regional and advance to next week’s Super Regionals. Do you agree or disagree with our predictions? Let us know!

Some notes about our predictions

Three Regionals had unanimous picks from all writers. In two of those, the pick was for the No. 1 seed (Knoxville and Bryan-College Station). In one of those, the pick was for the No. 2 seed (Greenville).
Two Regionals had eight votes for one team and one outlier for another team (Fayetteville and Stillwater).
In only nine Regionals, most votes picked the No. 1 seed. (Knoxville, Lexington, Bryan-College Station, Fayetteville, Athens, Tallahassee, Raleigh, Stillwater, and Corvallis). In seven Regionals, the majority picked a lower seed (Chapel Hill, Clemson, Norman, Charlottesville, Tucson, Santa Barbara, and Greenville.
Four Regionals had three different teams picked in each Regional (Chapel Hill, Clemson, Tucson, and Santa Barbara)
