In Reply to: Chalk? #6 LSU beat #3 Arkansas twice. #11 Coastal Carolina beat #8 OSU... posted by Born2BBruin on June 19, 2025 at 20:04:23
before the tournament the college baseball reporters I listened to were pointing at Arkansas, LSU, Texas, Coastal Carolina and they were also high on Louisville.
I was just saying, looking at the 8 in the CWS, Arkansas and LSU were the favorites with Louisville and OSU next and UCLA 5th. OSU and UCLA got past the first round but then it all came down to Arkansas and LSU in our bracket and Coastal and Louisville on the other side.
I said a few days ago I thought LSU and Arkansas were very even and Coastal was right there with them and, as this played down to the end, the favored teams did indeed wind up above the others.
However the elimination games played out, of the teams that actually made the CWS, the one I heard predicted to have the best teams and the best chances made the last four and it seems to me the best in each bracket are still standing for the championship series
