Field of 64 Projections: Virginia Tech Still Projected As a No. 2 Seed Heading Into May

May is the biggest month in college baseball and teams are either trying to polish off their resumes and become regional hosts or trying to find their way into the field. Virginia Tech is a little bit in between. According to most projections, Virginia Tech is safely in the field of 64 and their RPI is No. 40 as of today. The Hokies only have two ACC series remaining, one this weekend vs Pitt and of course the rivalry series vs rival Virginia at the end of the season. As of right now, On3 Sports has the Hokies as the No. 2 seed in the Baton Rouge Regional. Of course, LSU is the host and the other two teams in the regional include Southeastern Louisiana and Missouri State.

If Virginia Tech can finish the season strong, they should be able to maintain this position nationally. The Hokies need to be able to win the series vs Pitt, avoid any midweek losses, and win the series against Virginia to stay in position for a strong seed.

How do the ACC Standings look heading into the weekend?

Georgia Tech lost another ACC series game this past weekend, but they were able to salvage it on Sunday thanks to some late-game heroics from Drew Burress and Kent Schmidt. Those players propelled Georgia Tech to a win on Sunday, ending their seven-game losing streak. The Yellow Jackets are now in fourth place heading into the month of May, and they face a non-conference opponent next weekend.

NC State was the conferences most impressive team last weekend, sweeping Clemson and taking over the top spot in the ACC. The Wolfpack are playing well and getting hot at the right time.

Despite losing two of three vs Louisville, Florida State remains in second place and the Seminoles still look like one of the conferences best teams. North Carolina took two of three from Pitt, Duke got an important series win against Virginia Tech, Miami stayed hot by winning their series against Boston College, Virginia got a much needed series win over Georgia Tech, and Wake Forest defeated Stanford over the weekend in two of the three games.

Towards the bottom of the standings, Notre Dame swept Cal.

Looking ahead to next weekend, there are two really big series on deck. Clemson faces Florida State and NC State heads to Miami to face the Hurricanes. The Tigers and Seminoles are still in contention for the No. 1 spot in the conference while Miami and NC State are arguably the conferences two hottest teams.
