Hypothetical 2020 NCAA Tournament Field of 64
Although COVID-19 took away the actual postseason in college baseball, we have made our best attempt at crafting a field of 64. Without the benefit of conference tournaments to dictate the auto-bids, we spent spent hours debating who would emerge victorious from each of the 31 conferences. Here's what we came up with:
[img],h_855,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/0e5d9f_ef6788ff92eb499dba0b03999783d35b~mv2.webp[/img]
Ole Miss, our projected SEC winner, earned the number one overall seed with Florida, on their heels as the second seed. Texas Tech (Big 12), Louisville (ACC), and UCLA (Pac-12) start a string of three straight projected conference champions to fill the three, four, and five seeds. The top eight seeds round out with defending National Champions, Vanderbilt, followed by Duke and Miami.
UCF and UCSB, projected winners of the American and Big West respectively, also earned hosting rights. LBSU, TCU, and NC State were all in the conversation for hosting but ultimately just missed the cut.
The SEC led the way with six hosts, followed by the ACC (four), Big 12 and Pac-12 (two), and American and Big West with one each.
The SEC also earned the most tournament bids (ten). Next are the ACC (eight), Big 12 (six), Big Ten and Pac-12 (four), American (three), and the Sun Belt, West Coast Conference, Conference USA, and Big West each with two. All of the other 21 conferences only earned their automatic bid.
Notre Dame was our first team out of the tournament. The Fighting Irish finished the season with a road sweep of North Carolina, but ultimately, we interpreted this result as more of a reflection of a down year for the Tar Heels than a banner year for the Irish. We expect good things in South Bend in the coming years, though.
Alabama was excluded from the tournament despite their 16-1 record. The Tide were hurt by a combination of the weakness of their schedule and the strength of the SEC West. We project that Alabama would not have won enough SEC games in a full season to earn an at-large bid.

College Baseball Nation Staff 2020 Omaha Picks
It's true that the Road to Omaha was cut a few months short this year, but the staff at College Baseball Nation has put together our Omaha Eight anyway. Earlier this week we released our hypothetical field of 64, and now we've chosen our Regional and Super Regional winners.
Up first, John's (@johnny_omaha) picks. John envisions four SEC teams advancing to Omaha: Ole Miss (1), Florida (2), Vanderbilt (6), and 2-seed from the Tallahassee Regional, Tennessee. This would mark the eighth Omaha trip in the last 11 years for the Gators.
Joining the SEC squads are two ACC teams (the overall four and seven seeds, Louisville and Duke, respectively) and one team each from the Pac-12 (UCLA, fifth overall seed) and Big 12 (Texas Tech, third overall seed). Duke has not made the College World Series since 1961 but has been a program on the rise under Head Coach Chris Pollard. The Blue Devils have appeared in back-to-back Super Regionals.
John's Omaha Eight would see three returners from the 2019 College World Series, Vanderbilt, Louisville, and Texas Tech. Vanderbilt went on to win the 2019 College World Series.

Kyle's (@kylemckelv) Omaha Eight also includes four SEC teams, but not the same contingency. Kyle predicts top seeds Ole Miss and Florida to advance, along with the tenth overall seed, Georgia, and two-seed from the Miami Regional, Texas A&M. The Aggies are led by likely top five overall draft pick, Asa Lacy.
Along with the SEC crew, Kyle predicts two Big 12 teams to advance to Omaha, Texas Tech, and Nashville two seed, Oklahoma State. These two teams would meet in their first game in Omaha. Likewise, Kyle pairs up two Pac-12 teams in their Omaha opener: UCLA and Arizona State (13). This would mark the Sun Devils 23rd appearance in Omaha but first since 2010.

Re: 2020 College Baseball Links
Thanks for sharing our stuff! We at College Baseball Nation were really high on Ole Miss coming into the season, and the Rebels did not disappoint. The pitching staff was obviously top notch, but the power from hitters was really impressive. 2021 is looking like another good year for Ole Miss.

Welcome aboard. I found you guys on Twitter yesterday - certainly following.
Losing Keenan and Servideo are gonna be hard to replace. But, I was really happy to see the pop that our very own Kenny Powers (Cole Baker) has. If he can mature a bit more at the plate and cut down on his K's, then we'll be fine. Lots of young depth on this team. I'm curious to see how an expanded roster is gonna affect the season next year. I imagine there will be some extremely deep bullpens throughout the league as a result of it.

Welcome to the board. It is great to have you here. We look forward to you adding your insights. This could have been a special year for Ole Miss baseball, but I guess we will never know. Hopefully CV19 will be curtailed more by next Spring.

This is going to take some time to figure out. Normally, the major baseball schools rely a good amount on talent as opposed to experience (just because guys leave early). This year, there will be a lot more experienced players coming back across the country with the power schools disproportionately hurt by the draft/free agent signings. It will be interesting to see how the offseason plays out in terms of transfers, roster spots, etc.
