COLLEGE STATION, Texas — If the college baseball season hadn't been cut short due to the Covid-19 pandemic, today would have been Selection Monday.
When the season ended, the Aggies were the #23 ranked team in the nation, according to USA Today's Coaches Poll. Barring a complete collapse in SEC play, Texas A&M looked like a lock for the NCAA Tournament.
As is the case most years with a Rob Childress coached team, the question on Selection Monday isn't, "would the Aggies make the tournament?", but rather, "would the Aggies host a Regional?"
There was certainly a chance for that this year with future top five pick Asa Lacy leading the pitching staff and an offense that ranked third in America in total runs.
However, D1baseball.com released a fictional bracket today based on projections of what would have happened this season, and the Aggies came in on the #2 seed line in a Regional with Oklahoma as the #1 seed, Arizona as the #3 seed and Seton Hall as the #4 seed.
11 SEC teams made the bracket, the most of any conference in the country.
