NCAA baseball tournament 2024: Re-seeding super regional field ahead of College World Series
Part of the postseason magic in college baseball is the unpredictability that comes with pitting some of the nation’s best teams against each other in high-stakes showdowns. The regional round of the NCAA Tournament does just that, and oftentimes the winners of the four-team, double-elimination brackets stun the sport with unlikely runs to the super regionals. That was again the case in 2024 as four-seed Evansville shocked East Carolina, tournament bubble squad Florida topped Oklahoma State and West Virginia secured its first regional championship in program history.
The combination of upsets and national seeds taking care of business on their home turf created a super regional landscape ripe with intriguing battles. For example, No. 1 overall seed Tennessee takes on this year’s Cinderella while Georgia and NC State meet in what should be an evenly-matched slugfest.
Regionals offered insight into which teams were over- or underseeded heading into the postseason because, as always, the selection committee’s pecking order was not entirely predictive.
