I imagine we will see some schools jump over to MAIS because of this.

Pretty crazy stat I just saw. 5 of the regionals were won by teams that came out of the loser’s bracket. Chaotic start to this year’s postseason

They are adding it for next reclass. MHSAA just announced it today.

The multplier should be used for all the cruitin skools............such an unfair advantage

Hosting can and does create extra pressure on the home team. And that pressure can vary depending on the experience of the team, the expectations of the team and fans, whether they have experienced failure at home over the recent seasons during said regional, the opposition teams of that particular regional (with respect to their own experience) plus the wildcard factors of the fact that anything can happen in a short weekend.

Hogwash. The only schools where a double multiplier is in effect is for those schools with only one gender - SSC, OLA, and Piney Woods. There has never been a 1.5 in Mississippi.

Been around since the 80s. If St Andrew's has 200 students for reclassification their official number is 300.

The pressure of hosting is a real factor with certain teams. Half a dozen hosts lose in their regional every year. This year it was seven.

First it was UALR winning the Hattiesburg Regional as a 4 seed. And pouring salt in the wound is Troy hosting UALR in a super regional. Of all the regionals Southern Miss has made, including the few they won, the one last week was probably the easiest one they had to get to Omaha. If Southern Miss has another regular season/tournament championship and 40 win season next year Southern Miss officials would be better off not putting in a bid to host and letting them travel. Hosting again would only be added pressure to them.

What does that even mean? I have never even heard of it

According to one popular Facebook page the 1.5 multiplier will be enforced on the upcoming 2027-29 Reclassification period coming this fall for private schools playing in MHSAA.

It will be a trip to Auburn for Ole Miss. Seven SEC schools ending up advancing, but two SEC vs SEC supers, so 5 is the max you’ll see in Omaha. Two obviously the minimum.

There are a ton of really good high school baseball players that get spread around the country. You look at Delta State and William Carey here in MS. Those two schools are probably mid level D1 programs playing at the DII and NAIA level. That is why I said there are no real upsets in baseball when you get to the Regionals. Every team is capable of making a run. Very competitive and that is what makes it fun.

Baseball is totally different than football or basketball when it comes to referring to schools as a P4 or mid major. There's a lot of P4 talent playing at those mid major schools.

Never wanna see a mid-major cali school or a sun belt team in your regional

What an insane weekend of games. Number 1 and number 2 overall are gone. First time ever that two 4 seeds are in a Super (and we could still have a third). Troy is leading Florida right now and will host a Super if they win. And you could still have a Kentucky vs Cal Poly super as well. What on earth….

St. John over Free Shoes Okie over Georgia Tech Just keeps getting better…

Technically Oklahoma is still alive and could make it past GT today.

Its 7. Ga Tech or Kansas is gonna make the world series

We’ve seen it before. If they bring their A game and we bring our A game, they win. We came out hot in all of our games in the regionals but start slipping late defensively. I think we’ll play good against Georgia, but it’s their game to lose. Tough road for both teams

I am thinking the Georgia folks are shaking their heads …Like really, we have already beaten these guys four times this year. Could you have possibly matched us up with someone else…

Yep. Could have 10 SEC teams in Supers but two of them would be SEC vs SEC matchups. 5 SEC teams already advanced, 5 others playing today with a chance to move on.

i was wrong. 8 SEC teams could make it

as it stand now there could be 7 SEC teams in Omaha. probably won't happen but.......

Probably the most dominant regional I can recall for State in recent memory. Simply overmatched all three teams. Great starting pitching and offense all weekend. Bullpen was a bit leaky and that can’t happen if you want any chance to upset Georgia. But not going to complain about a 3-0 weekend where State was never truly in any danger of losing. Big time clutch baseball by Ole Miss this weekend to win three close games against very good teams. I’m sure every OM fan on the planet is a huge Milwaukee fan today. Odds are probably in the favor of OM heading to The Plains for a Super, but certainly not locked in yet. I don’t think I hate either team’s chances in a Super, even State playing in Athens. They’ve lost four close games to Georgia this year, with Valincius only pitching in one of those games (and he was very good in that game) and McPherson did not pitch in any of those games. Maybe Georgia just has State’s number, but they’re gonna have to beat a really good team 6 times to get to Omaha. And beat Brian O’Connor in a Super Regional where he’s 7-2 all time. Not going to be an easy task for UGA.
