#1 seeds have won only 5 times. Winners the last 3 years rode the arm of a lefty. If seeds hold as they did last year, opening day at the WCWS will look like this... Oklahoma-Bama Florida-Fl State Minnesota-ucla Washington-Arizona
Which has nothing to do with seeding. It's overall strength of schedule, not OOC strength of schedule. Hell, I didn't set the parameters, they did. Earlier when we were discussing Minnesota ... it's quite ironic that SOS was mentioned with the Gophers but as a side note to how they did against ranked competition. A year later and the criteria changes. Confusing. If that's truly the case, there is a lot they ignored. I won't step into that black hole. It'll be a cold day in hell when I empathize with fans complaining about things with no foundation.
