Since the committee had such disdain for us, that they have us seeded 30th! I wouldn't complain much if that had sent us to 14th seed Kentucky, which would've meant we were about a 19th seed, but being put in with 3 seed Bama means they consider us the 30th seed. After being ranked 10th and 13th in the two major polls, and with an RPI of 20.

That’s the biggest slap in the face

Ok maybe if you wanted to make the strength of schedule argument for why we don’t get to host. But send us to a low seed. Sending us to the #3 overall seed is just ridiculous.

Did they think it was cute to create a Clemson/Alabama softball matchup?

No, but at least we would probably have gotten the seed

they got in the Athens regional. Better than having to travel to Bama's regional.

In a non-revenue sport like softball...

host sites generally go to the highest bidders. Not sure what Clemson bid but I can just about guarantee you, it was something the committee considered.

That said, there is no explaining how FSU is seeded 10th, Duke 13th, but Clemson is 30th? What a complete load !!!

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Hey we are the new kids to the softball block.
Nothing like a painful loss and then a slap to the face to inspire a team to go on a hard nosed winning streak. They will be ready to play.
