College Baseball Home away from Home


The 64 teams have been selected (no crazy 65 like basketball) for this years Road to Omaha. 
The Top 8 National Seeds are:
1: Arizona State
2: Texas
3: Florida
4: Coastal Carolina
5: Virginia
6: UClA
7: Louisville
8: Georgia Tech
All of which are hosting.  The other hosts include Oklahoma, Arkansas, TCU, Miami, South Carolina, Fullerton, Auburn, UConn. 

The controversy surrounds UConn since Florida State is actually the #1 Seed in that bracket and yet UConn gets to host in order to "help grow college baseball."  I understand wanting to help grow college baseball, but Florida State cannot be happy about going all the way to Connecticut to play the lower seeded Huskies.  I think this is a great plan that can be executed when the hosting school does not have an adequate site/facility i.e. Coastal Carolina.  FSU's stadium is great so that is not the case here and as far as growing college baseball, I think the people in Tallahassee would beg to differ.
