That is why I am sad that Oregon State did not get a chance to try for three in a row - something that only one team has ever accomplished. We had a young team and a huge target on our back so we always faced the ace of the staff

 

 

How in the Hell are u always going to face the ace of the staff? will someone please tell me. u only have 1 ace on a team. every team that u play in a weekend series throws their ace on Friday. every weekend every team sees the other teams ace on friday.

THat might have been the lamest and dumbest excuse i have ever heard.

Oregon State, as much as I'd like to give them the 3-peat opportunity, college baseball isn't like football. The theory holds that the bullseye works for a single game for football, but 3 game series in baseball ? If Oregon State was better this year than who they faced, there'd be a bullseye game and more times than not, OSU would've won that one. Anyway 28-24 over a season doesn't get them in, 11-13 tied for 6,7,8th places in the PAC 10 doesn't either. While 32 & 64 team tournaments have a lot of room for selections, be in the top 3 or 4 of a major conference and guaranteed of having a chance is there. These teams have to realize that just like March basketball, there is a cut and a "c" grade team may or may not make it, regardless of being last year's prom king.

Scorpioxyz, you mentioned that FSU and UM played MLB teams, not me.  I simply showed you that UGA does too!

Not sure who Boyd is, but the link shows the teams ranking and the SOS.  It shows that UM and FSU were clearly the better team, but those teams are below UGA in the SOS.  Clearly, the west coast teams get lots of love.

Currently, UGA is getting ready to punch their ticket to the CWS final series 10-4 in the 8th.

That said, Could they be facing the Fresno State Bulldogs ?

Grahzny, clearly my stance throughout this thread has been that there is really little that separates these 8 teams that went into Omaha. That boydsworld link means little to me, it's a rating that has a strength of schedule that gets updated based upon how teams do by a black box formula that neither of us detemines, much less understands completely. According to the BCS in Collegiate Football, Ohio State was one of the 2 best teams for a national championship game. It doesn't play out that way on the field and when a team has a peak and valley, even what separates the teams as they play has been very little difference when it comes to the CWS tournament. Like I said, the games and tournament is set up where 1/2 have to lose a game and after 2 losses, a reduction of 1/2 or more of the teams is eliminated. UGA is doing fine, they deserve to be in Omaha, as did everyone else. And when they all get there, they all have a chance. Try not to feel slighted because the experts didn't give UGA the better odds to be where they are today. It actually works better, as the payoff on when you bet UGA to win it all will actually pay out better ? Try not to make it a conference thing either, because in the end this thing could wind up being 2 Bulldog teams and if Fresno State beats UGA, won't that be embarassing for the SEC ?
