Ags are ruling the Big 12 now. That's why Texas is a national seed and A&M isn't. But, congrats to them anyway on a great season and hosting a regional. I think they got a pretty good draw. TU has UC Irvine, #10 in the nation. TCU got a bad draw in their regional. They go to Rice along with Baylor. That's one of the stronger regionals. |

For the tourney, they just seed the top eight. The regional hosts aren't neccessarily the top 16 teams. Long Beach St. hosts a regional and they are near the bottom of the top 25. If A&M didn't win the Big 12, TCU probably would have gotten a regional and A&M would have ended up in Fayetteville or Missouri. Does that mean TCU is better than A&M? No. TCU got whipped by the Aggs in CS earlier in the year. Ole Miss got a regional too and they are ranked 25. They do some screwy things with the tournament and how they decide who gets to be a host. I guess they didn't want 4 regionals in Texas and TCU was the odd man out.

TCU shouldn't host a regional. Ever.

I do wish there was one close by though. I would love to watch some college baseball all weekend.

TCU shouldn't host a regional. Ever. Why not? They have one of the nicest stadiums in college baseball. A metropolitan area. Plenty of accomodations. |

So records aside, how are Coastal Carolina, Wichita State, Long Beach State, College of Charlston (not this year but in years past) more worthy to host a regional?

I think TCU could certainly host a regional in baseball. We went to a game there this year and I was impressed with the facility.

It's all about where they are seeded in their grouping. The top seeds get the first oppurtunity to host. If that top seed didn't submit a bid to host, then they won't get it. Or the committee will not reward the regional due to many reasons:
facility flaws, torn up field, or #2 seed in regional has superior facilities
You can't put records aside in the process. The selection committee looks solely at this year's performance in the decision for hosting the first-round regional.
Baseball is a talkin' sport.

When I said never, I was just attempting to rustle someone's feathers....Mission Accomplished.
If they have the better record in their grouping one of these years, I'm sure they'll host.
