UCLA runs the table as No. 1 team in final college baseball Power 10 rankings

Editor's note: The following article was published first on d1baseball.com.

One thing to keep in mind with the way NCAA tournament seedings now operate: The NCAA Baseball Selection Committee will now rank the Top 32 teams, with 17-32 teams being grouped in pods as two seeds with the Top 16 seeds. For instance, teams in the 29-32 range will go national seeds in the No. 1-4 range, teams in the 25-28 range will go to national seeds No. 5-8, teams in the 21-24 range will go to national seeds in the No. 9-12 range and teams in the 17-20 range will be two seeds at the No. 13-16 regionals.

It is worth noting two things: geographical considerations still matter when applicable, and you still cannot have two teams from the same conference in the same regional. That will naturally cause some seeding manipulation during the process.

Mark Etheridge, Kendall Rogers and Aaron Fitt, who have a combined 60 years of experience covering college baseball, compile our projections.

Bids by conference: SEC (12), ACC (9), Big 12 (7), Big Ten (5), Conference USA (3), Sun Belt (3), American (2).
