Multiple NCAA Baseball Teams Secure Tournament Spots After Conference Tournaments

As the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament approaches, Tennessee is positioned well to host a regional, with projections placing them as a Top 16 seed, specifically 13th or 14th overall, following a 2-1 performance in the SEC Tournament despite a semifinal loss to Vanderbilt. Hosting a regional in Knoxville would be advantageous for Tony Vitello's team, who have previously gone undefeated at home regionals en route to the Super Regionals. Meanwhile, Utah Valley University qualified for the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in school history after winning the WAC tournament undefeated. Alabama, despite a strong 41-16 record and a high RPI ranking, has slipped in projections and is expected to be a two-seed visiting either Florida State or Clemson regionals. Arizona State, though ending their season with a losing streak, is still projected as a tournament team and a potential three-seed in the Baton Rouge region, facing a challenging but potentially rewarding bracket. The full tournament bracket will be revealed on May 26, following the announcement of the top 16 seeds and host sites on May 25.
