Last Four In: Louisville, Texas State, TCU, Arizona State
First Four Out: UC Irvine, Troy, Rutgers, Virginia Tech
There is a little bit of a shake-up in the national seeds this week. Oklahoma and TCU from the Big 12 both enter the field. Virginia Tech out of the ACC drops from the field into the First Four Out category. The bubble is slowly starting to shrink. With conference tournaments right around the corner, it will be exciting to see how many bid-stealers we have this season. LSU’s relief pitching woes continue and they drop to the #4 national seed after dropping a series at home to Mississippi State, who is towards the bottom of the SEC.
