REGIONAL PREVIEW - 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament | 11Point7 College Baseball Podcast
About this episode
The episode previews the 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament regionals, discussing superlatives, team predictions, and the implications of mid-major snubs.
The 11.7 Podcast drops its annual post–Selection Monday “superlatives” episode, running through 12 NCAA Regional categories (hardest/easiest regional, which hosts won’t advance, two/three/four-seeds most likely to advance, teams that can reach Omaha, best-uniform regional, most-watched regional, most offensive regional, and best pitching regional). The hosts also congratulate broadcaster Jack DeLongchamps on landing ESPN regional work in Starkville and a College World Series reporting role, then discuss Mercer being left out of the Field of 64 despite a top-30 RPI, arguing the decision reflects broader issues for mid-majors, scheduling, and the sport’s direction. They shout out their 11.7 Awards winners, debate why certain teams were seeded where they were, and preview an upcoming deeper regional-by-regional breakdown episode. 00:00 Intro01:42 Shoutout to Jack03:38 Mercer Snub Fallout09:16 Mid Major Future Debate13:21 117 Awards Recap15:48 Regionals Hype and Superlatives18:46 Hardest Regional Picks25:47 Easiest Regional Picks33:18 Top Eight Seed Upset38:15 Upset Alerts Brewing40:03 Seeds 9–16 Host in Trouble42:00 College Station Breakdown46:07 Other Hosts on Watch48:27 Two Seeds…
