Dawg83 Posted Sunday at 11:34 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 11:34 PM Day 1 bracket for Omaha is set: West Virginia vs Troy Ole Miss vs North Carolina I don’t see Troy as a threat to make it out of that but they could definitely win a game or so. Feels like the OM/UNC winner is going to be the favorite, but don’t discount West Virginia’s chances either. You’d much rather be on that side of the bracket than the side that’s got Texas and Georgia in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David44 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Well, it official now. 5 SEC teams after Alabama and Oklahoma advanced today. May as well refer to it as the "Hoover Invitational". At least 1 SEC team in the championship, since a whole side of the bracket is all SEC. I think Ole Miss has a good chance too, from the other side. Georgia / Texas vs Ole Miss?

I think Ole Miss has a good chance too, from the other side. Georgia / Texas vs Ole Miss? Georgia and Texas getting to Omaha, not unexpected at all. Bama was a team that everyone thought wasn’t as good as their seed, and I still think they benefited from a fairly easy path to Omaha, but hey you don’t get this far without being good. Can’t dismiss them anymore. Ole Miss was a trendy pick to make a deep run because of their pitching staff and home run potential, can’t say I’m too surprised they are in Omaha. Oklahoma is by far the biggest surprise of the SEC 5. Don’t think anyone had them getting out of Georgia Tech’s regional, much less getting to Omaha. My gut tells me that whoever wins the Georgia/Texas game on Saturday night is likely going to win the whole thing… And I’m starting to lean Texas in that game. I’m souring a little on Georgia after seeing their pitching against State this weekend. It was frankly pretty bad other than the Byrd guy that closed both games, and this was after UGA pitched State really well in the previous four meetings. I am not sure they can keep coming back on teams and bank on winning a bunch of shootouts at this stage. This may look really dumb in about a week but I’m going to go outside the box and say West Virginia wins the other side of the bracket. Little bit of a vibe thing with the Mountaineers, and I also think they are a more well rounded team than people realize. I have Texas over WVU in the finals. I like OM’s pitching a lot but I worry about their tendency to be home run reliant at times in that park. Not really sure what to make of UNC, their record is great but they are kinda notorious Omaha chokers. Edited 11 hours ago by Dawg83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
