The Ole Miss baseball coach is worried that SEC teams—his especially—might lose out on a national seed because the committee wants to artificially impose conference parity.
The selection committee for this year's NCAA baseball tourney has a problem: the SEC is loaded, and the rest of the country, well, isn't. During a down year for the Pac-12, Big 12 and Big 10, the SEC has seven teams with regional host-worthy resumes, six of which have legit arguments to be national seeds. But no conference has ever had more than three national seeds or six regional hosts. The question, therefore, is whether the committee will reward those deserving SEC teams based solely on merit, or whether it will impose artificial conference parity under the lame-ass guise of precedence and regional diversity.
