The Georgia Bulldogs have finished off a series win vs Texas A&M in the regular season finale, and it could place them in super-regional seeding positioning.
The Georgia Bulldogs may have just punched their ticket to hosting postseason baseball in Athens. With a hard-fought series win over No. 5 Texas A&M, Georgia has built an NCAA Tournament résumé that looks worthy of a Top 8 National Seed a prestigious distinction that allows a team to host both a Regional and a Super Regional on their home field.
Playing at Foley Field has been a major advantage all season, and securing postseason play in Athens would be a massive boost for a Georgia squad that has shown poise, power, and consistency throughout a grueling SEC slate.
Key Wins Stack Up
Georgia’s case for a Top 8 seed doesn’t hinge solely on this weekend’s win over Texas A&M. The Bulldogs have been stacking up résumé-building victories throughout the season, including series wins over multiple ranked SEC opponents:
These victories, combined with a strong overall RPI and one of the toughest strength-of-schedule metrics in the nation, should push the Bulldogs into elite territory in the eyes of the NCAA Selection Committee.
A Chance to Finish Strong
Today marks the conclusion of the SEC regular season, and Georgia has certainly ended on a high note. With the series win over Texas A&M in hand, the Bulldogs now await seeding for next week’s SEC Tournament in Hoover, Alabama, a final opportunity to fine-tune before postseason play begins in May.
While Hoover always presents its share of surprises, Georgia has done more than enough to feel confident about its national standing. The Dawgs are not only tournament-bound, they are in a prime position to host.
Athens, Get Ready
