NCAA baseball tournament bracket projections, national seeds after Week 11
See our NCAA baseball tournament projections after Week 11, including national seeds and regional hosts.
A little less than one month from selection Monday, the NCAA baseball tournament bubble is starting to take shape. Projected at the top are season-long stalwarts like UCLA and Georgia Tech. However, several bubble teams could serve as litmus tests for what the committee values.
Would the committee put in a team that is below . 500 in Sun Belt play but has a strong RPI , like Texas State or Arkansas State? What about a traditional SEC powerhouse with good conference performances but a poor RPI, such as Vanderbilt?
Or a Kentucky team with a better RPI but six straight series losses, including to three conference bottom-feeders? With a 10-11 conference record and No. 69 RPI, the Commodores currently are projected as the first team out, but a series win over Alabama April 30-May 2 likely would move them into the field.
No team with an above-. 500 SEC record has ever been left out of a regional. Kentucky is also projected out despite a No.
