One Week Closer to Selection Monday, TCU Projected, for now, to Host Regional​

D1Baseball's projection for this week is for TCU to host a regional as the No. 15 national seed, with Oklahoma, UTSA, and Oral Roberts coming to Cowtown.​

Conference tournaments begin this week. Selection Monday is one week away. There's still a lot of baseball to be played before we know the final field of 64, but as the regular season concluded, we have a somewhat clearer picture of that field.

With this week's "Field of 64" projections from D1 Baseball, the TCU Horned Frogs (37-17, 19-11), who failed to make the tournament last year, are projected to be the No. 15 national seed, which has them hosting a Regional at Lupton Stadium.

The Frogs finished the regular season in third place in the Big 12, exactly where they were predicted when the season began. TCU is only behind West Virginia and Kansas. However, with this week's projections, only the Frogs are projected to host a Regional.

More likely that they pair us up with UT? Or does Schloss make sure they don't do that to him?

Interesting point. Curious to see how it plays out. I can see them protecting UT and giving them an easy route to the CWS.

He didn't dodge us a few years ago

Is DBU as a 2 an easy route? I'm concerned about playing ORU as a 4.

Should we win such a Regional, we would then be projected to play at Arkansas (if I am reading the chart correctly). That might be spicy considering the last time we played there...

They beat us in game 1 of the CWS; we beat them in an elimination game.

I remember. The guy who hit the GW homerun against us has been playing with the Cleburne Railroaders.
