My predictions for the field, assuming Tufts and La Roche win. Plenty of room for discussion about the last few Pool C bids, as always. For the teams I'm putting out of region, I tried to make them strong Pool C teams who had their conference winner in their home region. I think this is how it usually works out. Anybody know?

Last teams in:
Rutgers-Camden
Augustana
Kean
George Fox


First teams out:
Washington U. - Probably will get in if they jump Augustana in the regional rankings. I'm surprised they didn't last week.
Baldwin-Wallace - Two conference tourney losses hurt their Win% just enough.
UW-La Crosse - Two conference tourney losses hurt their Win% just enough.
Rhodes - Might take the spot I'm giving to Augustana/Washington U. in the Central but they have 3 Pool B/C teams ahead of them in the South.
Gettysburg - I'm surprised they've been out of the regional rankings.
Concordia (TX) - If they jump George Fox for some reason.
Wheaton (Mass.) - Two conference tourney losses hurt their Win% just enough.
Wooster - Two conference tourney losses hurt their Win% just enough.

^^^^ great analysis... One thing I would probably change would be Marietta staying in the Mideast regional because they are hosting it. Although as a fan, it would be exciting to see them fly out west to compete.

Nice job Johnny, I don't see Marietta coming West if they are hosting, but I agree it would be fun.

Prob Washington U, if they get in, based on travel. I thought GF was a 4 seed, but who knows.  Based on pitching match ups today I agree that CTX wins the ASC

Great Job Johnny -- quick clarification in the Central region --- IWU won conference so they should be a pool A  making Augastna a Pool C. Think that would change anything (Augustana is hosting)

Spence

Same with Tufts and Amherst. Amherst is out of the tournament and cannot be a Pool A.

Something a number of folks just might be missing: despite being in the same region, Salisbury is more than 500 miles from Demorest.

Given the number of other regions to which they can go without a flight, I would be surprised to see Salisbury in the South region. The only team from outside the south that can go to Demorest without a flight is Thomas More.

Shenandoah is also more than 500 miles away, but if they're slated to be the top seed in the region, they may just go ahead and fly the Hornets. Obviously, there is no shortage of places they can go inside of 500 miles, either.

I don'ts see any fly-ins to the West this year. Lets see if I am wrong or right.

This will be really interesting as Letu is up 6-0 over CTX in the 6th. I am curious  how they seed teams. Does a conf winner get seeded above an at large team? I the west it may not matter as they will not match up teams from same conf. It would not surprise me to see a 6 seed fly in over chapman.

What do you guys think of Augustana's Pool C chances?  When they went 1-2 in the CCIW tourney, I figured they were dead.  But they are the highest ranked Pool C team in the Central (and despite the tourney, will likely stay there), and I have a hard time imagining the Central with zero Pool C selections.

I think they are in... cant remember a time when the CCIW regular season winner was left out? Conference carries some weight in the committee's eyes.

LeTu is in, they just beat CTX, first time in school history, congrats to the team, coaches and fans. Will be very exciting for them. Now the gnashing of teeth for GF, CTX and Chapman in the West.

I am going with this:

4. George Fox
5. LeTu
6. Fly in a Pool A from an upset conference

So what time today should we expect the white smoke to rise from the chimney at the "secret selection meeting"?
