Oxford Regional Prediction
Ole Miss played six straight games in the SEC Tournament. Too bad for them that they just missed an SEC Championship on Sunday. Now they will be home for the weekend regional. RPI wise, both Illinois and Clemson are about the same strength. Clemson has the better power hitting (79 HRs) in this regional. Illinois has the best pitching ERA wise. This is one of those of those regionals where the host might find itself fighting for its life. Ole Miss has the edge playing at home but remember they lost a series on this same field to lowly Kentucky this season.
