1. Florida State Seminoles: Last year, the Seminoles came out of nowhere to make a run to Omaha. This year, they're back as hosts and aren't getting enough respect.
Yes, they have one true ace in Jamie Arnold, but Joey Volini and Wes Mendes will be a big part of their postseason success. The Seminoles can also mash, ranking ninth in batting average and 17th in OPS.
If they pitch off and hold Arnold until Saturday, they'll be in a great spot to win the Regional.
2. Northeastern Huskies: The Huskies dominated the Coastal Conference, going 25-2 in conference play. Additionall,y they come into their matchup with Mississippi State on a 27-game winning streak.
However, that will be put to the test, as Northwestern opened as a +114 underdog.
3. Mississippi State Bulldogs: If it weren’t for the likelihood of facing Arnold and Florida State on Saturday, the Bulldogs would be a great value.
They're extremely well-rounded, ranking 29th in OPS and 31st in team ERA. The Bulldogs also closed the season strong before running into a revitalized Texas A&M club in the SEC Tournament.
It wouldn't shock me if they find a way to challenge Florida State if they can get Arnold out early because Mississippi State holds a big bullpen edge over the Seminoles.
4. Bethune-Cookman Wildcats: Bethune-Cookman is another 4-seed that dominated its conference but struggled against nearly all other competition. The 'Cats went 24-5 against the Southwestern Atlantic Conference but 13-16 in nonconference play.
One of their nonconference losses came against Florida State by a score of 9-7. While they challenged the Seminoles, Bethune-Cookman ranked 293rd in strength of schedule, so its nonconference results are more telling for the results we should see in this Regional.
