Kentucky Wildcats Baseball: College World Series At-Large Chances

The 2015 College World Series Field of 64 will be announced on Monday at noon. The Kentucky Wildcats hope to slide in as a bubble team, but their one-and-done performance at the SEC Tournament has put that hope in jeopardy.

Baseball America recently looked at the history of bubble teams over the last several years to see what separates the  teams that make the CWS from the ones that don't.  The article is quite long, but does an excellent job going through the various measures used by the committee to determine the tournament field and linking discriminators (the results that separate in vs out) with comments from the committee regarding what they look for when selecting the last few teams in the field.
