Multiple NCAA Baseball Teams on Tournament Bubble After Early Conference Exits

As the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament selection approaches, several bubble teams are fighting to secure their spots through conference tournaments. Virginia suffered a disappointing 12-8 loss to Boston College in the ACC Tournament, plagued by errors and unearned runs, leaving their NCAA Tournament bid uncertain. Alabama finished the regular season strong with 40 wins, hosting a regional as projected by multiple sources, and preparing for SEC Tournament play against Tennessee. USC, also on the bubble, is competing in the Big Ten Tournament to bolster their chances, currently projected as a No. 3 seed in the Austin regional. Notre Dame was upset by Boston College in the ACC Tournament, casting doubt on their inclusion despite a strong season. Xavier, ranked 38th in RPI and playing a tough schedule, enters the Big East Tournament as a No. 3 seed, with projections placing them on the edge of NCAA Tournament inclusion.
