NCAA Tournament: Predictions, picks for 2025 Super Regionals
The final obstacle on the road to Omaha for the College World Series will take place this weekend across college baseball, as the super regional round of the NCAA Tournament begins Friday night. However, the super regionals will begin without Alabama, as the Crimson Tide failed to advance to this weekend. Yes, the Alabama Crimson Tide are no longer playing in the NCAA Tournament, as the Crimson Tide fell in the 2025 Hattiesburg Regional last week, going 0-2 with losses to both Miami and host Southern Miss. In fact, last week was a bit of a down one for the SEC entirely, as the conference saw a majority of their teams in the NCAA Tournament lose in the regional round. Because of this, four remain standing entering the super regionals, a pair of which will face each other. Here are predictions for each of the super regional series' this upcoming weekend, as well as which teams will be advancing to Omaha for the 2025 Men's College World Series. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle Louisville Super Regional - Louisville vs. Miami A pair of unranked seeds from the ACC collide in the Louisville Super Regional as the Cardinals host Miami, who came out of the Hattiesburg Regional field that also included Alabama. Despite being from the same conference, Louisville and Miami have yet to meet this season, making this an intriguing series between two unranked seeds where a game three could be possible. Prediction: Louisville in 3 Corvallis Super Regional - Oregon State vs. Florida State One of the more high-profile super regional matchups this weekend takes place in Corvallis, Oregon where the No. 8 overall seed Oregon State Beavers host the No. 9 seeded Florida State Seminoles. Expect this matchup to live up to the hype it garners going in as well, with this series likely to advance to a game three. Prediction: Florida State in 3 Chapel Hill Super Regional - North Carolina vs. Arizona Chapel Hill is set to host a super regional series between No. 5 national seed North Carolina and Arizona. Arizona advanced past the Eugene Regional a week ago, but it will certainly be a tall task for the Wildcats here to come to North Carolina and win two games. Prediction: North Carolina in 2 Auburn Super Regional - Auburn vs. Coastal Carolina The Auburn Super Regional will feature a pair of national seeds facing off as the No. 4 seeded Tigers host No. 13 Coastal Carolina. Don't be surprised if this series goes either way, but for the sake of a prediction, I'll go with the Tigers at home. Prediction: Auburn in 3 Los Angeles Super Regional - UCLA vs. UTSA Los Angeles will play host to a super regional between No. 15 overall seed UCLA and UTSA, a team that shocked the college baseball world a week ago by upsetting Texas in Austin. Don't sleep on the Roadrunners to upset another ranked seed here, but it will be a tough task against the Bruins in Los Angeles. Prediction: UCLA in 3 Durham Super Regional - Duke vs. Murray State After advancing out of the Athens Regional, Duke will now host the Durham Super Regional against another team that is coming off an upset-filled weekend in Murray State, who advanced out of the Oxford Regional. Two unranked seeds, this could be where Murray State's run ends at Duke, but you should not count out the Racers entirely either. Prediction: Duke in 2 Baton Rouge Super Regional - LSU vs. West Virginia After narrowing advancing past the regionals, No. 6 national seeded LSU will host the Baton Rouge Super Regional where the Tigers are set to welcome West Virginia to town. Facing a good Mountaineers team, I expect LSU to take care of business here, sending a second SEC team to Omaha. Prediction: LSU in 2 Fayetteville Super Regional - Arkansas vs. Tennessee We conclude with a SEC matchup that is likely the most anticipated super regional series as No. 3 national seeded Arkansas hosts No. 14 seed Tennessee in Fayetteville. The Razorbacks and Volunteers met in Fayetteville for the regular season series finale from May 15-17, a series in which Arkansas took two-of-three headlined by an 8-4 win during Game 3.

Prediction and betting odds for Alabama vs. Southern Miss in 2025 Hattiesburg Regional
Prediction and betting odds for Alabama vs. Southern Miss in 2025 Hattiesburg Regional There is no denying that Friday's result in the 2025 Hattiesburg Regional was a disappointing one for the Alabama Crimson Tide. The No. 2 seed in Hattiesburg, Alabama was upset by No. 3 seeded Miami by a final score of 5-3, a game in which the Crimson Tide made things interesting late, and narrowly walked-off with a victory. As a result, the Crimson Tide are now facing elimination in every game going forward, falling into the loser's bracket. To begin a potential run through the loser's bracket, Alabama will now face top-seeded Southern Miss on Saturday in a must-win game. The Golden Eagles, who are the No. 16 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, are the host team for the Hattiesburg Regional, and were upset Friday night by No. 4 seeded Columbia, 11-4.

As for the rematch, this will certainly be a tough task against the Golden Eagles in a must-win game, but I'll say that it's Alabama keeping their season alive with a close victory to advance to Sunday.

Social media reacts to Alabama's loss vs. Miami in Hattiesburg Regional opener On Friday afternoon, the Alabama Crimson Tide opened play at the 2025 Hattiesburg Regional with a matchup with the Miami Hurricanes. In what was a 5-3 loss, Alabama originally fell behind in a big hole early, as Miami struck for a three-run home run in the first inning, and later added another in the third to hold a 4-0 lead. However, Alabama would begin to make things interesting starting in the fourth inning, as the Crimson Tide scored three runs in the frame, headlined by a two-RBI double from Brennen Norton. Miami immediately responded in the fifth with a home run however, a lead that they would maintain throughout the conclusion of the game, even despite the Crimson Tide making things interesting late in the ninth inning with what was nearly a walk-off home run from Kade Snell.
