An update, with order of finish, for the NCAA regionals. Might help speculation about the World Series seeding. Notice that the Record is the pre-tournament record; ditto for the rankings. Kind of a toss up as to whether the seedings or the polls were more accuarate.
Thanks again to R_Rollins for the conference info via the NCAA -- but any mistakes are my own. I will post a 'scorecard' by conference a bit later for discussion's sake. For now it is interesting to observe that home teams were 3-5, just off the historical rate, and that four #1, three #2, and one #3 seeds advanced.
I also have an analysis of performance grouped by conference.
