2006 NCAA Baseball Predictions

Here is my NCAA Baseball bracket. I'll probably do a re-pick once we make it to Omaha in two weeks.

Regionals
Clemson, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech
Cal St Fullerton, Pepperdine, Carolina, Alabama
Rice, Houston, South Carolina, Florida St
Nebraska, Ole Miss, Oregon St, Texas

Super Regionals
Clemson, Georgia Tech
Cal St Fullerton, Pepperdine
Rice, South Carolina
Nebraska, Texas

College World Series
Nebraska over Clemson, 2 games to 1

Ok fine, I'm coping out. I admit to picking Cal St Fullerton initially, but refused to stick with it because I picked them last year and they choked. And it made me mad. So I switched to Nebraska, but I'm not convinced. I will officially say Nebraska over Texas, then over Clemson in the finals, but I'm pretty torn on the Nebraska/Texas possibility.

Notes:
  • I only picked Carolina because I felt like it. I'm not, as stated in my last blog, high on the chances of this team.
  • The bracket with South Carolina/Florida St/Georgia/Virginia is the toughest to pick because I've seen all those teams play in person and have seen them all play poorly. I'm counting on the Gamecocks coming around and playing to their potential.
  • Ole Miss may be a sleeper team of sorts, as the Rebels have played very well as of late, winning the SEC Tournament. I really wanted to pick them to upset Nebraska...then somehow I ended up with Nebraska winning the whole darn thing. Wonderful.

That's it for now, I've been busy recently with numerous things, so the blog has slowed down considerably. Everyone have a good weekend and check out the college baseball series nearest to you.
