As we’re now well into the 2013 college baseball season, College Baseball Daily continues our countdown to Selection Monday with our latest 2013 Regional Projections.
For this week’s projections, instead of being solely compiled based on RPI like they have been done in past weeks, every aspect was taken into consideration. College Baseball Daily’s Ginger Poulson (@gingerpoulson) compiled this list after analyzing RPI, overall records, conference standings, overall talent and several other factors. If you have any questions about the projections feel free to leave a comment below or send her a tweet.
Enjoy the regional projections!

What was the deciding factor in putting #83 Arizona in over #17 Miami, considering that Miami has the edge in every category imaginable? Arizona has one win over the top 50.
still no Miami?
They are on an anti-Miami crusade now. That’s more important than putting out quality baseball coverage. Arizona isn’t even in the “next ten out” in other projections. Their resume is absolutely void of quality wins. They lost 23-1 just five nights ago and lost a series to abysmal Washington, yet here they are. Lazy research.
And Miami lost a series to a three win ACC squad.,,,

Miami also has series wins over #12, #14, and #23. SERIES wins. Plus single wins over #1, #3, and #5. Would you care to list Arizona’s quality wins? Thanks. There is no defending Arizona over Miami, and I look forward to watching you try. One win over the top 50???
Ginger has Arizona winning their final two series and Miami losing both…that was HER projection

(1) Arizona has three series left, not two. (2) If Arizona wins the series at UCLA, UCLA will not be hosting. There aren’t enough west coast teams in the field this year to justify a fourth western host that is on the bubble. The committee doesn’t put a bunch of teams on airplanes unless a fourth western team is an obvious host. See, there’s a lot more to this than the time you people are putting into it.
And if this is HER projection, let HER respond and quit taking the ill-informed pot shots.
She doesn’t want to respond to your drivel..waste of time

watch out for auburn, RPI is close to the 30’s, SOS 30’S.. 10 games over.500 cant believe they aren’t getting any talk. I know need to get two from UF thisweekend, would that be enough for you to put them in your field?
