Boyd's Super Regional Probabilities

[SHOCKvalue]

We fared better than I thought we would:

68 19 9 Florida State
32 4 1 Wichita State

And another matchup with probabilities that really surprised me:

30 4 1 Louisiana State
70 20 11 UC Irvine

We have a higher likelihood of winning our regional away at Tally, than LSU has of winning their's at home. Go figure...

Key- first number is prob. of winning SR, second number is prob. of getting to the CWS finals, third is the prob. of winning the whole shebang.

Guys,

I would bet that he isn't "picking" anything. It's the stats that are doing the picking.

Also in fairness to Boyd, OSU's statistical strength would be altered dramatically without Oliver in their rotation. First of all, you lose all of his performances. Then you also would have to move all the other pitchers up a spot in priority which would have matched them up against tougher competition/opposing pitchers throughout the season.
