NCAA Softball Bracketology

Selection Sunday is just six days away and the last RPI before the NCAA Tournament field is announced was released today. The lastest RPI gives us the best understanding of where teams will stand in the

This was not a straight up copy of the RPI, but as the selection committee has stuck closer to the RPI in the past several years, we tried to as well.

I would not completely rule out the possibility of having a non-national seed host a regional due to location. If that is the case, my best bet would be Hofstra hosting as a two-seed in a Hemstead Regional with a top-16 seed flying in as the top seed of the regional. There are a lot of teams from that area that look like they'll make it in the tournament this year (Albany, St. Joseph's, Lehigh and Siena would all be within 200 miles). I wouldn't count on that happening, but it is a possibility.

One thing is for sure, there will be as many teams flying to a regional this year as ever. Or at least that is what it seems like.

Here is our NCAA Softball bracketology. NOTE: Currently Automatic Bids are projected as the regular season/top conference tournament seed of each respective conference still playing. Conference tournament champions will almost certainly throw a wrench or two in here.
