    The unseeded team you don't want to face? I'll go with DBU.

    Didn't think I'd post but had a different idea. Anyone who plays LSU the game after Skenes is done. I think I got a 50-50 shot.

    I haven’t watched enough to have any personal feelings on this, but I might not trust them even if I did. However, I do like the computer algorithms, and here are a couple dangerous teams according to those metrics:

    Tennessee
    Dallas Baptist


    Also Alabama has a top 10 computer ranking, so doesn’t seem to be a great prize for the overall #1 in a potential supers matchup. (South Carolina also sports a better computer ranking than their seed)


    Meanwhile, Stanford appears relatively weak according to the computers, ranking often in the 15-20 range.

    If their arms hold I could see Iowa coming of the Indiana State region. Not sure they have the power to get through a super though.

    As much about Wright St as them. Always seem to cause problems when get in.

    Guessing Heels coast through that one pretty easily

    Just to show you how terrible I am at picking winners and losers, I chose Campbell as my Dark Horse in this thread. They lost to NC State yesterday 5-1 and now are now down to #4 seed Central Connecticut 5-0 in the bottom of the 6th. They're racing to be the 1st team eliminated!! So if you people see me making a pick down the road, choose the opposite.

    The Campbell Camels have bounced back from the verge to elimination to where they're now facing South Carolina needing to beat them tonight and tomorrow. Campbell up 2-0 after 1.

    I think we missed that one. ISU advances. Iowa just needed some more strong arms.
