In that link they have UCLA as the 2 national seed, must be a typo no?
My mistake. You are correct.
I think they have a lot of ground to make up. We are on the other side of the line.UNC is the 2 seed in the National Seed 8 regional - does that mean they're not even under consideration to host?

UCSB being seeded ahead of us is a complete joke. 160 SOS and 3 games against Q1 (RPI 47 UC Irvine back in mid April).
I agree. They have no lights and seat 1,000, so, they have to rent a field 300+ miles away in order to host? Schedule some quality opponents if you expect to be in the hosting discussion.
will find out in a few daysHow accurate is D1 on host and seeding predictions?
High school participation in baseball is starting to crater here.
Baseball is in trouble. Kids are playing other sports. My dude played baseball and lacrosse a few years ago and now only plays lacrosse. Loves it. Up here lacrosse is growing and then there are the glass drooling hockey parents who have their kid playing 12 months a year. I am a hockey guy and it drives me insane where hockey is going up here. 7-13 year old kids specializing playing year round.College baseball in California is in steep decline. UCLA has an elite coach and access to, arguably, the third best recruiting area in the country, but Stanford is too inconsistent and USC's program is practically dead. Even Fullerton posted a dismal season this year.
Hopefully, Stanford starts investing in the team and expands its institution-wide scholarships (similar to Rice and "Operation" Vanderbilt). My buddy is on Stanford's secondary Board and he says that they are going to institute something similar to Operation Vanderbilt. We will see.
UCLA's stadium is decrepit.

UCLA baseball draws poorly. I have been to some games where they had 500 people in the stands. Will go this weekend and see how they fare. (If they have a game...........)
