NCAA Baseball Projections: Stanford, Ole Miss climb after Florida trips up at Mississippi State
If your school is still on the bubble, you'll be sweating it out as the full 64-team field for the NCAA Tournament will be settled this week.
The SWAC Tournament finished Sunday with Texas Southern taking home the trophy and North Carolina A&T won the MEAC. Plenty of other spots will be locked up in the coming week with conference tournament action getting in full swing.
Florida (41-15) has been the No. 1 overall seed for much of the season, but it drops one spot this week after being swept at Mississippi State over the weekend.
Stanford (43-8) benefits from the Gators' stumble and jumps one spot to No. 1 overall. If Florida plays well in the SEC Tournament, it can easily reclaim the top seed.
After winning seven of its last eight games, Ole Miss (42-14) moves up two spots to the No. 4 seed.
On the mid-major side, Stetson (41-11) is looking more and more like a lock to host. The Hatters are No. 8 overall in the RPI rankings.
UConn (32-18-1) moved back into position to host after taking two of three games from East Carolina this weekend.
