Picking Every College Baseball Conference Tournament

The 11.7 podcast season recap (live on YouTube) opens by congratulating Oklahoma on a national championship and calling its postseason the toughest path to a title, highlighting wins over the Citadel, Georgia Tech (including big comebacks), Kansas, and an SEC-heavy CWS route that ended with a 13–2 game three win over North Carolina. The hosts break down key game moments including a North Carolina baserunning blunder, Kyle Branch’s 3-for-4, 6-RBI performance, and debates over Scott Forbes’ pitching moves involving Jackson Rose, Walker McDuffie, and Jake Glauber, while praising Oklahoma’s bullpen usage of LJ Mercorius. They recap Oklahoma’s uneven SEC season, discuss West Virginia and Troy’s Omaha impact and mid-major scheduling/portal realities, touch on an MLB proposal requiring two years of college, review viral 2026 tweets, and share Omaha travel, tech, and fan-interaction stories before closing the season. 00:00 Intro 01:58 Omaha Content and Tech Chaos 05:25 Toughest Title Path Debate 12:56 Game Three Turning Point 16:58 Pitching Moves and Overcoaching 22:21 Bullpen Usage and Warmup Talk 28:11 How Oklahoma Got Hot 37:54 CWS Takeaways West Virginia 40:39 What Oklahoma Run Means 41:08 Troy Mid Major Blueprint 43:23 CWS Momentum Moments 50:24 Advisors And Tampering 53:21 Cycle Controversy 59:17 Omaha Bets And Fan Drama 01:03:26 Airport Bar Tab Story 01:06:05 Foul Ball Catch Tale 01:17:07 Lost Wallet Uber Chaos 01:20:46 Rocco’s Jello Shot Rant 01:23:20 Chips Home Run Derby 01:27:49 MLB Two Year Proposal 01:37:10 SEC Title Streak Talk 01:41:08 Viral Tweets Rewind 02:00:49 Season Wrap and Goodbye

College World Series Finals Game 3 Preview (UNC vs Oklahoma) | 11.7 Podcast The 11.7 podcast previews Game 3 of the College World Series Finals between Oklahoma and North Carolina, airing at 7:09 ET, after opening with Father’s Day stories and a brief debate about missed recordings. The hosts discuss how the CWS has lacked late-game drama and hope the finale delivers, then break down probable pitching plans: Oklahoma starting Nick Wesolowski in his third career start, while UNC considers Ryan Lynch but may start Jackson Rose or Folger Boaz with a short leash and heavy bullpen usage. They highlight key bats like Dayton LaChance and Owen Hull, UNC’s lineup adjustments in Game 2, Oklahoma’s freshman starters’ impact, and Kaden Glauber’s dominance. They note Oklahoma’s strong fan presence in Omaha, praise both head coaches’ styles, mention UNC’s Eric Paulsen’s Father’s Day performance, and make picks (Ben: Oklahoma; Noah and Dimitri: UNC). 00:00 Welcome and Fathers Day 00:33 Baseball dads stories 02:41 All Star Game detour 03:52 Show agenda and updates 09:29 Pod scheduling argument 16:02 Game three drama setup 18:28 Probable starters breakdown 21:08 Who gets the big hit 21:56 Lachance heater deep dive 27:06 Ravich calls and comps 31:09 Crowd vibe and ticket talk 36:13 Conference Fandom Debate 37:57 Sooners Freshmen Rotation 42:29 Coaches Spotlight Forbes Skip 48:05 Omaha Record Book Find 52:35 Tar Heels Adjustments Game Two 59:18 Eric Paulsen Fathers Day Story 01:00:47 Game Three Picks And X Factors 01:05:20 Who Roots For UNC Most 01:09:55 Wrap Up And Next Episode

Rather than full recaps, they discuss super regional storylines: Troy’s hosting experience and atmosphere, West Virginia’s “Randy’s Ridge,” seven super regional sweeps with North Carolina the lone team to win a three-game series, and debates on SEC dominance, transfer-portal effects, and tournament format.

They note 11 teams went 3–0; Troy, USC, and Auburn rebounded from Game 1 losses to win the Regional; and five teams forced and won Game 7s. Additionally, the trio debates the Tre Phelps and Landon Hairston ejections/suspensions. St. John’s and Little Rock won regionals as four-seeds.

The hosts also congratulate broadcaster Jack DeLongchamps on landing ESPN regional work in Starkville and a College World Series reporting role, then discuss Mercer being left out of the Field of 64 despite a top-30 RPI, arguing the decision reflects broader issues for mid-majors, scheduling, and the sport’s direction.

They discuss Mercer and Jacksonville State’s midweek wins, the new DSR metric, selection committee factors, and how volatile the 10–16 regional host range remains, especially in the Big Ten (Nebraska, Oregon, USC) and ACC (Georgia Tech title race, Wake hosting push, NC State/Virginia Tech bubble, Virginia’s slide).
