I think the bigger question is can any of those teams break through and make a run in the tournament?
Congratulations to the Hawkeyes!! That's a major, and long time coming, accomplishment. Enjoy the moment!
More opportunities there are the better chance the conference has. All of the Big 10 teams will be underdogs to advance. I don't see the caliber of high-end pitchers that the elite teams in college have. It will be interesting to see Iowa. I would not want to face the Hawkeyes with the depth of their lineup.
ESPN2 will have a selection show tomorrow at 11 AM
Tomorrow around 1100am The pairings announced on one of ESPN channels. ESPN 2. Someone beat me to it
If trends are any indication, we will probably be a 4 seed. But our momentum, wins, etc, could bump us up to a 3 depending on who we get paired with.
Either way, we're still going to be facing some solid teams, most likely with better records, in the Regional.

Btw, is there a site that keeps track of conference standings in the NCAA?
If there's one sport that absolutely sucks at keeping up to date tabs on scores and statistics below the professional level, it's baseball. Look no further than the state of Iowa at the high school level.
And it's ironic too because the MLB absolutely prides itself on its records and statistics.......

D1baseball.com and warrennolan.com are good ones to follow for college baseball. Live scores, RPI updated constantly, standings, etc.
At the end of the day to get to Omaha you're going to have to beat some of the best teams in the country whether you're a 3 or a 4 in a regional. We can all agree once we make regionals, the ultimate end game is to make Omaha and hopefully it happens one day.
warrennolan is the best for baseball right from day one of the season until now.
Here are the regional hosts
LSU
UNC
Clemson
Oregon State
Arkansas
TCU
Florida
Southern Miss
Houston
Kentucky
Long Beach State
Louisville
Texas Tech
Stanford
Florida State
Wake Forest
LSU
UNC
Clemson
Oregon State
Arkansas
TCU
Florida
Southern Miss
Houston
Kentucky
Long Beach State
Louisville
Texas Tech
Stanford
Florida State
Wake Forest
If I had to make an uneducated guess, I'd say we could end up in one of:
Arkansas
TCU
Houston
Texas Tech
Basically, any member of the old SWC.
We know Michigan, Nebraska, and probably Indiana are also in.
It's almost a guarantee that a B1G school ends up in Arkansas, Louisville, and Kentucky for sure IMO.
It would be nice for me if they ended up at OSU, but they'll prob go to Arkansas

Iowa is the 4-seed in the Houston regional. They'll play Houston Friday at 7:00 PM on ESPNU. 3-Aggies and 2-Baylor are the other teams.
Just as many stats there as you can find for high school basketball, football, volleyball, etc... just saying.
How about while the season is going on? Not after, when they're due............my point still stands.
In the 226 games before Heller arrived...Iowa won 95 of them.
The 226 games since Heller arrived...Iowa has won 139.
