With all the conference tournaments wrapping up on Sunday, the time is near for the unveiling of the NCAA baseball tournament field. All the suspense will be over when the official bracket is revealed at noon ET on Monday, but for the most part we have a pretty good idea who made the 64-team cut, with aspirations of reaching the ultimate destination of Omaha, Nebraska for the College World Series. This much we do know. There are 29 conferences whose champions receive automatic berths.

Our latest bracket projection indicates some teams are trending in the right direction, but naturally any upward movement comes at the expense of someone else. As usual, the SEC is front and center.

With just a couple of weeks remaining in the college baseball regular season, fans are no doubt beginning to ponder how their favorite team’s path to Omaha might be shaping up.
