NCAA baseball selection committee altering seeding process for 2026: top 32 teams to receive seeds Finally. Ive only been asking for this for 20 years..lol Now seed T64 and play best of 3 until CWS....maybe in another 20 years... Would assume softball will follow suit. i saw SB is adding 'safety' base this year.
Kendall Rogers of D1 reports there will be some geographic criteria, so in the case of 1. UF 2. UCLA ... 31. Stetson 32. UC-Irvine, we probably get 1-31 and 2-32 instead of two cross-country flights. Notably, I've seen nothing about avoiding regional intra-conference matchups.
Im not sure if theres an official rule they cant(think there is now ) but hasnt happened since 2004 Aub @ Bama... played each other in 0-1 game lol. bama won
