Bold: ACC Teams Italics: Automatic Qualifiers

The bracket came together nicely over the weekend at least with regards to the 64 teams in the field. There were few bid stealers at the last minute, though William and Mary's win over UNC Wilmington may have been the final nail in the coffin for a certain team from Chapel Hill.

While identifying the 64 teams in the bracket was fairly straightforward, placing them in regionals while attempting to limit travel proved very difficult. With no regionals west of Texas or north of the Mason-Dixon line, there are a number of seemingly random placements. Look no further than Charlottesville. While most years, the Hoos would be hosting teams from the mid-atlantic or northeast, this year a couple teams familiar with the Cavaliers come to town. First UC Santa Barbara, who "hosted" Virginia last year (the Gauchos were the host of the Lake Elsinore Regional, though the stadium was actually three plus hours from campus) is the two seed. And second is Oregon State who last visited Charlottesville in 2007 as a three seed en route to a College World Series Championship.

It will be interesting to see how UNC fairs in today's announcement. They're listed as the first team out in our projections, but the committee could see things differently. The Tar Heels are 19th in the RPI and their 14 top wins are good for ninth in the country. However, their 13-17 mark in the ACC coupled with the fact that they missed the ten-team ACC Tournament meant they had to sit out the final week of the season awaiting their fate. In the end, it will be their lack of quality series wins that does them in. While the 14 top-50 wins is solid, most of those came in single game wins or during the mid-week. Their only quality series wins of the year were Duke and Oklahoma State (a two and three seed in this bracket respectively).

Make sure to tune in to ESPNU Monday at 12 P.M. to see how we did. Then stay with Streaking the Lawn all week as we bring you coverage of the Charlottesville Regional.
