Chip - do you think today’s win gets us a hosting spot? Too soon to tell?

No, it does not. Beat FSU, and there is a chance. Just my opinion of course

We probably need a win tomorrow to host but I will die on the hill that
this team deserves a host spot after today. They shut out one of the most potent lineups in the country.

yup...if the powers that be weren't blinded by the $EC, we'd host, IMO

And have won without HR, and all HR. All RBI last night were by players
who did not produce today. And HRs today were by players who did little yesterday. And none of them were our 1st Team All ACC 3rd baseman. And then there is the pitching!! The more complete team won yesterday and today. And Duke is really, really good!

50% chance. Either we host or we don't.

That's about it. The chair said she expected the committee to have working
brackets to begin the discussion.

If they don't host, I'd feel bad for those that really want to see more
games at TSP. & I'll admit I'm not local, so it's the same experience for me either way. But really, I have far less stress about it than in years past. This team is 37-5 outside of Blacksburg, the bats have proven that they'll come through far more often than not, & the pitching has never looked better.

Yeah, this team is so used to being on the road that it probably feels
normal to them.

I think it puts a squarely in the conversation
Not only did we pick up a quality win over Duke, but Stanford got run ruled by FSU. As one of their support people said after their game, “we sure flunked the eye test today.” It will be interesting to hear what the so-called experts say later tonight and tomorrow.

Agree, Chip. The way we won these games only surrendering one run is . .
. . . certainly eye catching. I think the committee will take note, particularly of today's game after how potent Duke's offense has been this year. Is today sufficient? Maybe. But should we lose tomorrow it needs to be a low-scoring affair. If we win tomorrow I don't know how we don't host given what happened to Stanford today.
