Anyone willing to take a stab at who might be the deserving recipients of a Pool C bid this season based on where things stand with the Regional Rankings and Conference Tournament results?

Birmingham Southern is probably tops on this list, along with Cortland.  I think there are a few teams out West (Redlands and Concordia Texas) that are probably deserving that won't get a bid.  Redlands has never been regionally ranked but they are definitely better than some of the teams that will be picked. (Obviously this is all my opinion)
I agree the West seems to lose Pool C bids. Not sure what is so special of the outside the
West teams. Sorry I am not a big fan of the current SOS/OWP/OOWP system. I would prefer all teams stay within their region.

One would think Shenandoah University is basically a lock for an at-large bid.

Sources tell me that Randolph Macon is out of it and Washington and Lee has a slim shot.

Too much tumult with all of the upsets in the conference tournaments for me to try before the 3rd Regional Ranking.

UTD is gone.
Concordia TX is done.
Roanoke messed up Pool C big time.
We may have gotten lucky with Oswego getting the bid without the tourney in the SUNYAC. That may have saved Cortland from some losses.

Only half of the Pool C hopefuls truly have a shot at one... about half the Pool C conferences don't go the way they are seeded and the lower half of the Pool C bids are lost in the process...
Baseball is not a game that builds character, it is a game that reveals it.

Not sure that CTX is done.  There are a lot of team that will get two losses this weekend.  They are definitely a bubble team.

My annual rant on Pool B/C bis I sure nobody agrees with me

1) Combine Pool B/Pool C bids
2) Throw out OWP/OOWP
3) Take rankings out of committee
4) Use some type of computer ranking system
5) Keep teams in the own regions
6) Keep Dreaming never happen

Congrats to all teams who make it to the regionals. I saw 5 regionals and 4 DIII championship series. Unbelievable life time experience

Give an automatic bid to the CUNYAC and one to UAA and you get rid of Pool B

The push to move teams out of region in the regionals is a fairly recent phenomenon. Although that does not explain how four NJAC teams played in the 84 World Series.

We might have the CUNYAC with a Pool A bid in 2019 or 2020, if they pull off the affiliations of Finlandia and Maine Presque Isle.

Well.... who are the Pool C locks? Any bubble teams have to be sweating it out seeing Wooster and Cortland State fall into Pool C.

Randolph-Macon also falls into Pool C and Concordia-Chicago needs to win 3 today to avoid that same fate.  The committee will have some tough decisions.

BigPoppa

So those are 4 Pool C locks... and 4 bubble teams are pushed out. Bye-Bye WashU? Redlands? Carthage? Stevens Point?

No chance Redlands is pushed out, I would think they are #2 in the West and the first Pool C in the West.
