2016 College Baseball Tournament Projections: Round One

College Baseball's postseason is around the corner. We're now less than a month from conference tournaments, and mere month away from the announcement that's filled with the drama surrounding who's in and who's out.

Ah, the postseason. The first glimpse of summer filled with drama, disappointment for some and dog piles for others along the road to TD Ameritrade Park Omaha for the College World Series.

Projecting the field of 64 is a daunting task with there still being plenty of baseball to be played in the remaining couple weeks of the regular season. These projections are most definitely subject to change as teams' stocks rise and fall over the next couple of weeks. Each national seed I projected is paired with the following regional for hosting purposes.
