Since I have been following softball, D1 typically has the best bracketology. Eric Lopez really studies the teams and he typically will host a podcast every year with the chairman of the selection committee. Plus they have an excellent team of contributors that helps him. With that as background, here is today's bracket with the disclaimer: "IF the season ended today." Virginia Tech is predicted to be a host school as a #13 seed. In their bracket is Texas A&M (#19 overall seed) along with Boston U and Akron. Other ACC schools and their seeding: Duke #11 VT #13 FSU #16 Stanford #17 (in the Arizona Region) Clemson #22 (in the Georgia Region) UVA #26 (in the Florida Region) Louisville #30 (in the Alabama Region) UNC gets an at-large bid as one of the last four in the field Georgia Tech is in the last four out - they really need some win(s) in Blacksburg this weekend. One comment that they made: "Seeds 12-16 and the teams ranked 17-19 are all fairly bunched-up together." Two other comments: "Virginia Tech has received no love from the RPI, ranking No. 19 despite a 12-4 record against the Top 50 and true road wins over Georgia, South Carolina, and Auburn. The Hokies have better luck in other metrics, ranking 10th in DSR and 11th in KPI." "Florida State finds themselves on the hosting Bubble after being swept in an ACC series by Stanford; that’s the first time since 2011 that the Noles have been swept by an ACC opponent. The Seminoles’ RPI dropped to No. 14, their DSR to 13, and their KPI to 16 after the three losses. With just a 7-7 record vs. the Top 50, there is little room for error if they plan to host. Let's Go Hokies! Just win, baby!
