If the latest college baseball tournament projections come to fruition, the Oregon Ducks are about to receive a prescription for more cowbell.
D1Baseball.com doesn't have the Ducks (33-11, 15-6 Big Ten) hosting at PK Park; it's a regional where they could have a lot of success and move on. In the most recent projection, the Ducks will be flying into SEC country and participating in the Starkville, Miss. Regional as the No. 2 seed.
Keep in mind this is only a projection, and there's plenty of baseball left to be played. Just because the Ducks aren't projected to host, they have a lot of opportunities to change that with several wins in the future, including series with two other Big Ten teams who should also be in the post-season.
But for now, Mississippi State, the host school, is currently 35-10 overall and 13-8 in SEC action. But the Bulldogs go to No. 4 Texas this weekend, where things could definitely change.
Along with the Bulldogs and Ducks, Oklahoma State and Wright State would also be in the regional. Oklahoma State is 28-17 overall and 11-10 in Big XII play. While the record doesn't seem great, the Cowboys' RPI stands at 36. Oregon is at 26.
Wright State, which would be the No. 4 seed in the regional, is 19-22, but 12-3 in the Horizon League and is expected to win that conference.
Besides Oregon, USC and UCLA, the only other Big Ten school projected to play in the postseason is Nebraska.
