college baseball

for football we have game threads, for basketball we have weekly threads, last year for baseball we combined college with the majors. the horror! this year, we're having our own college baseball thread. it'll be liberating. trust me.

 

my 2015 predictions:

 

regional locks: stanford, ucla, arizona state, oregon state, oregon. i think the pac is going to be driven by two teams who were very young last year, and should explode onto the national scene in 2015: stanford and ucla. 'furd struggled with consistency last year, but gelled late and took eventual champion vanderbilt to an elimination game in the super regionals. ucla was bad, finishing well under .500, but here's thinking that was a mere bump in the road after winning the national championship the year before. they've reloaded with a few outstanding classes built off of said national championship, and should be good to go. asu is as talented as anyone, but they remind me a little of arizona basketball right after lute olsen left. good talent, but something has been missing. oregon state has a massive rebuild job on their hands but recruits as well as anyone on the national stage and pat casey more than gets the benefit of the doubt. they've missed the postseason once in the last decade. oregon gets nowhere NEAR that same benefit of the doubt, but they've done alright for themselves, too: 40 wins and a postseason berth in 4 of the last 5 years. this is an unusual year insomuch that it looks like oregon's hitting may be asked to carry the load, but coach horton knows pitching and i don't see the weekend staff falling to shambles on his watch.

 

on the bubble: everybody but utah and washington. sorry, utah and washington. this may be strange because washington just made the tournament last spring, but their losses were massive and i don't see anything close to above-par replacements ready to step in. everybody else in the pac-12 has something going for them, and i wouldn't be surprised to see anyone else reach the field of 64. usc and cal are ascending, wazzu underachieved at 24-30 on a team most thought would make the postseason, arizona now has three full recruiting cycles since they won the national championship and cannot POSSIBLY be as bad in 2015 as they were in 2013 and 2014.
