And what conference has an official as the head of the selection committee? The Big 12.
*And don't even get me started on the pathetic job they did this year in regional and super regional matchup considerations.

Are you serious, Clark?
Oklahoma State is not a terrible selection. College baseball is completely dominated by the West. Out of 62 CWS titles, 44 have been won by teams west of the Mississippi, 10 by teams east of the Mississippi, and 8 by teams on the Mississippi.
Anyway, the RPI is pretty much solely responsible for
screwing western teams, not helping them, every year.
I take all this back if you're a fan of a California or west coast school. They indeed do get hosed every year. Oregon State's 3 seed, for example, is a damn joke.
