Two-time defending national champion South Carolina and No. 1
national seed Florida will face difficult tasks just to get back to
the College World Series in two weeks.

UCLA is the No. 1 team in the RPI and Baylor and North Carolina,
among others, could make deep runs.

Southeastern Conference regular-season champion LSU (43-16)
earned the No. 7 national seed and features conference player of
the year Raph Rhymes, who's batting a nation-leading .459.

Pac-12 co-champion UCLA (42-14) is the No. 2 national seed and
playing a home regional for the third year in a row.
