Sad that it has to be OT, but I thought the post-season should have its own thread.

NCAA regional field

TCU gets in? Wow.

TCU's inclusion, with its RPI=59, was the biggest surprise, for sure. ESPN's Kyle Peterson: "I don't think even the Frogs thought they would get in."

Other highlights:

FAU gets in, so CUSA gets two teams into the tournament.

Georgia Tech got the #3 seed. (D1Baseball had them at #6; BaseballAmerica at #9.)

CalState-Fullerton misses the tourney for the first time since 1991.

All 3 D1 teams in Nebraska make the tourney (Nebraska, Creighton, Omaha), as do three from Connecticut (UConn, Central Ct & Quinnipiac)

Florida State makes its 42nd straight post-season appearance in Mike Martin's final year as coach.

SEC has 10 teams in ... and four Top-8 seeds.

There are five potential intra-conference Super Regional matchups ... but the head of the NCAA Committee said the pairings were the result of ranking the Top 16, not due to any intention of setting up same-conference SRs. (He did add, though, that should any occur that the atmosphere at those intra-conference super regional games would be off the charts.)

In alphabetical order ...
Last 4 in: Duke, Florida St., Michigan, TCU
First 4 out: Houston, Missouri, Texas State, Central Florida.

Non-hosting picks who could make it to Omaha ... Studio commentator: Arizona State & UC-Santa Barbara; Peterson: Creighton.

In the past 6 years, only 21 of the Top-8 seeds have made it to Omaha.
