Last Four In: Kentucky, USC, Arizona State, Kansas State
First Four Out: Xavier, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Virginia
All signs point to Texas A&M, the preseason No. 1 and 2024 CWS runner-up, being left out completely this season as they cannot do quite enough in Hoover to get them in the field or at least closer to sitting on the fence. Notre Dame is our last team in with Oklahoma State and Virginia being the first teams out in our latest projection.
