Will Auburn baseball land a national seed? Latest NCAA Tournament projections

AUBURN — The regular season's drawing to a close, and after making some postseason history last spring, Auburn baseball's poised to be on similar footing yet again.

No. 6 Auburn, which landed a top-four national seed in last year's NCAA Tournament for just the second time ever, is projected by at least one major outlet to garner the same circumstance this spring.

With a top-four RPI and the strongest schedule in the nation, the Tigers are widely projected to secure a top-eight national seed in the tournament, which would set them up to host another super regional should they advance that far.
