NCAA Baseball Tournament bracket predictions: National seed, super regional host projections

Zac Al-Khateeb, USA TODAY NETWORK

Only one day remains before the full 64-team field is revealed for the 2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament, and only hours remain before the NCAA reveals its 16 regional hosts for the postseason on Sunday.

However, not every team will have the same waiting experience for Sunday and Monday's official reveals. For Tennessee baseball, for example, the wait isn't to see whether it makes the field, but rather whether it will be the No. 1 overall seed. At 49-11 and 22-8 in the SEC (and with a chance to win the SEC Tournament on Sunday), the Vols are widely projected to be the top seed of the tournament.

Elsewhere, teams such as Mississippi State (38-21, 17-13 SEC) can rest assured they'll make the tournament. In the Bulldogs' case, the question is whether they'll be able to host a regional site. Other teams, such as Georgia (39-15, 17-13 SEC) will hope not only to host a regional site, but a super regional as well.

Until the reveals are made official, fans will simply have to wait to see where their team falls in the tournament. Until then, they can look at the latest projections ahead of the final bracket reveal on Monday:
