SB America comment on the game and hosting
This was written by Brady Vernon, who is the Managing Editor of Softball America and their primary bracketologist.
"Virginia Tech will likely find itself as a two-seed in the 17-20 bucket traveling to one of the 13-16 seeds. Florida State is locked into a hosting spot, how high will be the question? Can they sneak into a Top Eight seed? We will find out on Sunday."
In their Bracketology on Saturday morning, their 13-16 seeds looked like this:
Oklahoma State (13)
Texas A&M (14)
LSU (15)
Oregon (16)
