    I have no idea how the college tournament works. Does this mean they get an auto-bid to the College World Series regionals?

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

      Yes. The Utes get the auto bid for the MWC. The NCAA will make known where the Utes will be sometime next week, most likely Mon. or Tues at the latest.

      TCU being ranked at #10 and more importantly having an RPI (yes, they started the RPI ranking this year) of 12 will get them an at-large bid and they may even be able to host a regional, though they needed to win the tournament in order to solidify their chances at being a host team.

      SDSU will most likely get a 2nd at-large bid for the regionals. Their RPI isn't great, but they are one of only a few teams to have 40 wins. Also in their favor is the fact that Strassberg is the best pitcher in college baseball and people will pay money to see the kid pitch.

      Utah winning the tournament really benefitted the conference as a whole because there will now be 3 teams in the regionals, which is huge for a conference not known for baseball. If there is a good showing by any of the teams, it could help attract kids to decide that MWC teams are worth a look - especially those in the cities better suited for year round baseball.

            Don't be jealous. You've still got ballroom dance to brag about.

              2009 NCAA RUGBY NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP is always better than a mwc baseball tournament championship.

                A sport that isn't officially sanctioned by the NCAA?

                  The same people who like the BCS? Now that is a group who can make quality decisions.

                  The BYU upset of Cal was huge. Huge I am telling you. HUGE!

                  I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

                    I believe you're sincere in this. YO, on the other hand, is letting his anti-baseball cloud his judgment. He probably won't admit that he doesn't understand rugby.

                    He's also jealous that he's never set foot on Doubleday Field.

                      Utes avoid elimination to see another day in the Regionals. They were down 9-3 in the bottom of the 8th and scored 7 runs to take the lead. Georgia Southern scored one to tie it in the top of the 9th, but Utah answered with a run in the bottom of the inning.

                      Utes play the loser of Cal State Fullerton/Gonzaga.

                          I erred terribly. It was suppose to say anti-Ute baseball.

                            Not that you guys care, but the Utes eliminated Georgia Southern yesterday and just eliminated Gonzaga.

                            Utah and CS-Fullerton up in about 30 minutes.

                            In other college baseball news, my Red Foxes were eliminated yesterdayby Ohio State and Ohio State was eliminated today by Florida State by a scor of 37 -6.

                            That's right, 37-6.
