Stanford softball just got assigned (through technical issues on the ESPN selection show) to Oklahoma State's regional as #2 regional seed. This is absolutely absurd. Stanford beat Ok State *twice* in the regular season, including a 10-0 run rule win (it stings even more to get assigned to Ok State's regional as opposed to getting snubbed for an SEC school given the H2H). Stanford won 3-out-of-4 against Florida State, beat Oregon, but apparently Ok State, Florida State and Oregon should all host ahead of Stanford. Stanford won *15 out 16* to close the season, and had a top 16 RPI. Why play the games if H2H is not going to matter?
It is ridiculous; apparently every year it is new criteria to justify why the "big name" schools should just host.
In the ESPN interview, the committee chair is talking about an "equitable" bracket. Lol, no this was not an equitable bracket.
