I had been bragging on D1 SB's Eric Lopez as a great bracketologist...
Well, this year's results are now in...and for the second time in three years, Eric nailed ALL 64 teams and all 16 Regional hosts. He missed VT last year as a host. This year, he had eight hosts in the exact spot and the other eight were off by just one position. That's pretty dang good. ** Edited by VTChip at 5/11/2026, 1:22:22 AM

He learned his lesson about picking VT.

Question. When did this near perfect seeding take place?
Several days before, or a couple of hours before?

He posted it Sunday morning
He follows NCAA softball as close as anyone could and he did a Podcast with the chairman of the selection committee.

Maybe you need to convince him to slot VT in as a host.

He tweeted the two VT scenarios earlier tonight
He said that LSU and Texas AM would get the nod over Virginia Tech if the Committee valued Top 10 Wins, Top 25 Wins, SOS, and non-conference SOS. Sadly, he was correct.

It always amazes me how so many people underestimate SOS.

I get SOS if you are winning those games but rewarding a team for
losing to the majority of the ranked non conference teams is crazy to me. LSU went 3-5 in non conference games against ranked teams. You take away a bad Missouri team and LSU has a losing conference record.

It is like the old Danny Crum claim at Louisville in the metro
when they didn't make someone, "We had a tough schedule!!!" Well, win those games then.
