We’re through the super regionals, and have a CWS field. Here’s a recap of the supers and a preview of the CWS field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, lets recap the Supers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Super Regional Predictio<\/em>ns versus Actuals<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Prediction summary: 7 for 8. Only missed Ole Miss vs Auburn<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stats\/Observations of the 8 Super Regionals.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fun fact: not one team from 2025’s CWS field made it back to Omaha. Last year’s field was: Arizona, Arkansas, Coastal Carolina, Louisville, LSU, Murray State, Oregon State, and UCLA. Not only did none of these 8 return … none of them even made it back to a Super Regional! In fact, half of them didn’t even make the 2026 field of 64 (Arizona, Louisville, Murray State, and LSU, which didn’t make the field for the first time since 2011). I heard an interesting theory as to why, and it relates to the transfer portal. The transfer portal is open, right now, while the best 8 teams in the country and all their coaches are in Omaha trying to win a national title. Instead of recruiting and talking to transfer candidates for next year’s team, they’re preparing for one last tournament. So they’re at a massive disadvantage to players who may take the first “good” offer they get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It seems like a simple fix: keep the transfer portal closed until the season is over. Duh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, your 2026 CWS Field (with original national seeds driving the teams):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once again, its a really, really lopsided CWS. Group 2 is stacked with three national seeds and four teams from the SEC, while group A has just one National seed and the random Troy team that made it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n RPIs of the CWS field<\/strong>: Here’s the Live\/updated RPI of the field, plus the pre-CWS tournament RPI for those teams who were seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re still looking at a pretty strong CWS field, with four teams out of the top 6 in RPI still playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prospect Watch in the Super Regionals:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There were so few 1st rounders competing in the Super Regionals as compared to years’ past that I didn’t even bother to do this section this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My CWS Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Top half: I don’t like how UNC struggled so i’m tempted to say Ole Miss, but they’ll have an easier 1st round matchup against Troy, which may serve them well. I’m still gonna say Ole Miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bottom Half: Well, with all four teams in the SEC, we have some history from the regular season. Georgia-Oklahoma in game 1; they did not meet in the regular season, so advantage GA. Texas beat Alabama 2 out of 3 in a home series, so advantage Texas. Then, Georgia\/Texas didn’t meet either, so advantage GA again. That puts Georgia in the title game. Alabama won 2 of 3 at Oklahoma earlier this year, so advantage to them in the first elimination game. Then Alabama would play Texas again, so i’m thinking its Georgia-Texas in the regional final. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Final: Georgia over Ole Miss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re through the super regionals, and have a CWS field.
