Nashville Regional Prediction
Vanderbilt is ranked No. 1 in the NCAA’s own RPI yet they assigned the Commodores the No. 2 seed. It almost seems like they allowed D1Baseball.com make up the regional assignments. Ohio State and McNeese probably won’t be present much of the threat to Vandy but Indiana State is a concern. They have a No. 24 RPI and a good number of wins over Power Conference teams. Vandy has been dominant all season. The Commodores proved in the SEC Tournament that they can win in every conceivable way, in pitching duels, high scoring affairs or by coming back from a huge deficit. Vandy should have little trouble winning this regional.
