Hey Winky they did no favors for the reigning champs. I feel it has the best collection of teams. Arizona is no push over they can hit the ball and Missouri from the Big 12 is decent but the pitching they have won't match-up. I feel there frist weekend will be harder then the next weekend; where you have a drop in talent in the other pool.
Other pools teams advancing
Tulane-- got too much of everything, biggest challenge is 2 seed Alabama but they must worry about lafyette
LSU- not confident on this one; I believe Rice has very good chance here
Long Beach- sleeper here is Pepperdine
Oregon st-- closest thing to automatic 2 top notch pitchers
Mississippi-- don't know much about s.miss but Oklahoma has too many holes
Texas-- easy bracket for them I think Arkansas didn't make their conf tourney
Clemson-- too much offense power for College of Charleston
Baylor-- TCU has a stud pitcher that could shut baylor down and we have upset
Ga Tech-- S carolina can be a threat here
Tennesse-- if wichita can get by first game without using Pelfrey we have A great pitching duel possibility with Hochevear
Fla st-- should be little sweat
N carolina-- they can beat the gators and then fla st and get to Omaha
Cal-Fullerton-- arizona wildcats will be biggest scare; titans would rather face mizzu (lesser bats) other than Harvard would love to watch this series
Coastal carolina-- how they got a regional is beyond me; if they could get one why not st johns in the northeast similiar clubs; anyone of the four teams can win here but that will be it
Miami-- on losing skid but time off might be what they needed too much talent not to win at home
Nebraska--my home team at first glance this nc state team scared me; but after looking over some things feel huskers have better pitching and lot more power
My predictions for Omaha:
Tulane-- over LSU or Rice
Oregon st-- over Long Beach
Texas-- over Mississippi
Clemson--over Baylor like both teams
GaTech--over tenn or wichita
N carolina--over Fla st
Cal-Full--over somebody--even though winky's trend say it won't happen if that holds true I think Arizona has the best shot
Nebraska--over Miami homer pick I just hope Hurricanes don't get hot
Good Luck for which ever team you root for
