Well I would like to see LSU win the series but Texas is really dangerous and has some timely hitting.
College Baseball Anyone?

It used to be a 1 game, winner take all, up until about a dozen yrs ago or so. I'm not sure why they changed it, other than to get in another game or 2 and get the revenues from them. As for it being "bloated, never-ending", please explain.
These are college students, not professionals and not minor leaguers. The season starts in February (for most teams, this is when they begin Mandatory workouts) and we're approaching July.
There never used to be so many regionals, super-regionals, etc. There's too many games in these playoffs.
Only the top 25 teams should make the playoffs. :thumbsup: That way the Champ is decided from "the best of the best."

You make a very good point here i like where you are coming from:thumbsup:

Good points, but they start training back in November. Games actually start in late Feb. I agree with the Supers and Regionals, the NCAA should go back to having just 8 regionals, with the 8 winners being the CWS participants. But as for there are too many games, I would actually like to see more during the regular season (ie conference schedules include a 3 game series with everyone in the conference).
Yeah, you're right. I just wish someone would inform college football of that as well.
Back when I played, we started in august with weights and starting hitting etc in October, but I'm sure there are more restrictions on allowed times to practice now.

The colllege baseball World Series championship is no more "bloated" than any other college championship. The format is double-elimination (how is that impossible to follow?). Once every team but one has lost 2 games, it's over and the championship is won. Until last night (LSU's bullpen was terrific I gotta say!), neither team had lost a game so it becomes a best-of-three series. Had one or both teams already lost a game, there would be a one-game championship. It's very simple and straightforward.
It's been that way since the thing began....ever when your Trojans were rolling to their championships, t-rock.
Hopefully, the Horns will get back at 'em tonight!
