College Baseball Midweek Upsets, WBC Talk, and Weekend Picks: LSU Concerns, Sun Belt Surge & Blue Blood Debate

The hosts record a late-night, shortened 11.7 Podcast episode without Jack (traveling) and initially without Noah, mixing World Baseball Classic discussion with a midweek college baseball recap and weekend series picks. They react to a string of uninspired LSU performances, give Louisiana a mea culpa after strong wins including over LSU, and praise a Southern Miss–Mississippi State midweek thriller while debating how much midweek games matter for RPI and postseason readiness. They highlight undefeated starts by Texas and USC, detour into a spirited “college baseball blue bloods” debate using historical regional/super-regional/CWS data, and show an early field-of-64 projection tool. Weekend picks include DBU over Louisiana, split opinions on FGCU vs Bethune-Cookman, Coastal over ECU, UCF over Murray State, UNC over Virginia, and a split on Rice vs Abilene Christian, plus frustration with a weak SEC nonconference slate.
