NCAA baseball tournament bracket projection for top seeds and bubble teams

It’s do-or-die time for college baseball teams across the country with conference tournaments about to begin. Teams at the top of the rankings have their final opportunity to impress the committee in their bids to be host schools and – as importantly – be one of the top eight seeds that are guaranteed to play at home in the super regionals.

The teams at the bottom or outside the projected NCAA tournament bracket have their chances to either confirm places by winning their conference tournaments or win enough games to get on the right side of the bubble.

The current bracket, unsurprisingly, is heavy on SEC teams with 12 in the field and eight among the top 16. But there’s solid representation from the ACC and other conferences, plus independent Oregon State.

One spot in the field has already been clinched with Yale taking home the Ivy League title Sunday. There are 63 places up for grabs. Here’s our projection of where things stand ahead of the final weekend.
