Georgia, Nebraska potential national seeds
Baseball America updated its projected field of 64 teams for the NCAA Div. I baseball tournament, and judging from their assessment it would appear some teams have moved in, while others have played their way into potential regional host sites.
One of the noteworthy changes among potential regional hosts is St. John's, who may be playing their way into a possible host site that is unusual for schools in that part of the country. Baseball America currently projects them as a No. 2 seed behind Coastal Carolina, but would get the host site as Coastal Carolina is unable to host a regional this year.
There was also a change in the magazine's projection of top-eight national seeds. Joining the group is Georgia and Nebraska, who are projected as the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds, respectively.
