I wasn't surprised that Missouri State was a national seed until reading that the Bears won't be able to host Super Regionals because of a venue conflict.
Suddenly, being paired with the Springfield Regional could be a bonus. And that would be the Stillwater Regional. Oklahoma State is a solid No. 1 regional seed, but the Cowboys lost to Texas in the Big 12 title game. If OSU takes care of business, it could be hosting Missouri State next weekend. Oklahoma State isn't chopped liver – ranked 12th and with an RPI of 11. But I wouldn't be surprised if Arkansas, seeded second at OSU, wins the Stillwater Regional. Arkansas hasn't lost a series since going 1-5 in its first two SEC series to LSU and Vanderbilt.
