Some speculate BYU was placed in Oregon's regional to minimize the chance of them advancing.

That would make sense, eliminate them early.
There is an article on their website that claim they have won 5 consecutive conference titles at 4 different conferences. Talk about the red-headed step child. :?

I watched most of the Fresno State vs North Dakota State game, slow rain day........how about that strike zone - did the blue ever figure it out?

Now that the series starts the strike zone changes and illegal pitches are called at the drop of a dime

How does a team with a 257 RPI make it to Regionals? Some of these conferences should not have an automatic berth. No other sport does this, what a joke.

Another ten or fifteen years and I'm sure the sport will start calling the pitching rules consistently.

NCAA basketball and baseball do it. It's to keep all conferences relevant. I believe all college sports give berths to conference champs

So it is up to the NCAA to keep the conferences relevant? How about they tell these conferences to step up the schedule or lose their automatic berths?

LSU-15 vs 257 RPI Team-0

Not fair to the players, fans and the sport.
