We are the favorites for the first time in our history. Vegas has us at 9-5.
Match ups/contenders (everyone is a contender because the favorite rarely wins). So here are the most likely contenders on paper...
Okie State, to me is the one team that is playing well enough to be called the next favorite, outside of UF. Their coach, Hollaway, is a great story. They are the best team in the Big 12, which happens to have 3 teams in the CWS. They pitched their way to a 1-0 victory against UCSB. Biggest threat, but we have to make the finals to see even them.
Miami has the bats. I like cow pokes better, but they are still a serious threat. Arizona is beating them 3-0 at the moment.
Texas Tech has a great coach and experienced line up at the plate. The rotation features three talented freshmen. This is a dangerous combo, and the most likely threat in our haff of the bracket.
TCU has been to Omaha three straight years after eliminating a talented aTm team for the second year in a row. The TCU vs Tex Tech round game tomorrow should be the best 1st round matchup.
Coastal Carolina is at a talent disadvantage, but they have the sluggers. However the ballpark favors pitching and defense, plus they will have to face Shore in game one. A great matchup of pitching vs power.
I'm glad we still get to enjoy watching our boys play this time of year. Go Gators!
