#17 NC State just wrapped up an incredible week, shutting out Norfolk St. 18-0 in a midweek game, and defeating UVA in 2 out of 3 on the road. When the Wolfpack headed to Charlottesville, the Cavaliers were ranked 10th (now 18th).
According to D1Baseball’s most recent Bracketology report after this weekend’s games, NC State is projected to be a #2 seed in the Starkville Regional. Mississippi St. is the projected #16 seed.
D1Baseball listed NC State, Oklahoma St., Dallas Baptist and Duke as being on the Regional Host Bubble.
I agree with Alex Gee’s assessment here.
NC State has 3 Series Victories over Top-10 teams and 4 Series against Top-15 teams. Personally, I think a strong argument could be made for NC State hosting a Regional as things currently stand. With that being said, if they find a way to win the series against #8 Wake Forest at home later this week, the debate will be over.
