But Kenn State is a 3 seed. And Bama is a good "baseball mid-major". And CofC wasn't a surprise....not expected, but no way near a shocker. When the pairings were announced, the folks on ESPN said CofC talked about how tough the Coogs were.
8. Toughest regional: Oklahoma State
This could be the most hard-fought regional of the bunch, mostly because the Cowboys and their Nos. 2 and 3 seeds, Nebraska and Cal State Fullerton, respectively, are very even teams -- nearly interchangeable. The possible exception is the Titans, who still have a formidable pitching staff that is one of the best in the nation when it is dialed in, making them extremely dangerous. But give the edge on offense to the Pokes.
Runner up: Florida
The youthful Gators drew the
toughest 4-seed in College of Charleston and also have red-hot Long Beach State and potentially dangerous North Carolina in their bracket.

I'm watching the FL State/Bama game and they are STILL talking about Jackson State.... a #4 seed in the conference tourney whose bus burned down....whose team had a losing conference record....who had the LOWEST RPI in the playoffs....and STILL shut down a team that averages nearly 8 runs a game!!!!
