[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 873934, member: 4572"] Arguments like these just show that y’all don’t really know baseball. The MLB team with the best regular season record wins the World Series less than 20% of the time, and that’s in a 30 team league with playoff fields of 8, 10, and now 12 since 1995. College baseball is a 200+ team league with a playoff field of 64. In baseball the “best” team will win the game on the field less often than in any other sport. Add in a tournament format and it’s literally a crapshoot. At GT, if you aren’t hosting a regional then you’re almost assuredly going to play at a top 16 ranked SEC school in a hostile environment. And even if GT does host a regional, we’re probably getting a top 30 SEC school along with a very good mid-major out of the Sun Belt, SoCon, or AAC. It’s not easy to win in the postseason at any level of baseball, and especially not in college at a place like Georgia Tech.
