More than a month remains until the start of the Southeastern Conference Tournament, but postseason projections show a run to the College World Series may have to go through the Magnolia State.
Baseball America and Division I Baseball released their predictions for the field of 64 on Wednesday.
Baseball American listed Mississippi State as the No. 2 national seed. The publication listed Southern Miss as a regional host. Ole Miss was placed in the Golden Eagle's region.
Division I Baseball also projected MSU as a national seed at No. 4.
