No. 5 North Carolina, No. 6 LSU, No. 10 Ole Miss, No. 8 Oregon State and No. 14 Tennessee are all fighting for their season on Monday, against a slew of teams hoping to play spoiler to some of the top national championship contenders this season.

Does the NCAA Men’s Baseball Tournament re-seed?
The NCAA tournament does not re-seed to pair lower matchups with higher ones.
This means that Louisville, which came out of the No. 1 Nashville Regional, still finds itself playing the winner of the No. 16 Hattiesburg Regional.
Who gets home field advantage in super regionals?
While teams do not re-seed for matchup purposes, the higher seed will still get home-field advantage.
With this in mind, despite representing the No. 1 bracket, Louisville could still end up playing in Hattiesburg for super regionals if Southern Miss wins Monday.
