(2) Florida vs. (7) Virginia

Florida is one of the front-runners to win the title, well-balanced and SEC battle-tested. Virginia has been lighting up teams offensively (averaged 10 runs per game against Duke in the Supers) so this should be a good one.

TCU vs. Oral Roberts

Oral Roberts has been on an unbelievable tear; winning 31 of their last 33 games and banging in a lot of runs doing so (they've scored 90 runs just in the postseason). TCU's bats cooled off a bit in the last round after going nuclear in regionals. Both these teams are underdogs in the field but the public will be behind Oral Roberts if they stay on fire.

(1) Wake Forest vs. (8) Stanford

Demon Deacons looked like the number one overall seed against Alabama, obliterating them in every facet during Supers. The top seeded team has not won the CWS in 24 years, however. Stanford is a top team themselves, helped out by a freaking 156-pitch complete game by Quinn Mathews in game two and a walk-off pop fly that got lost in the lights in game three of their series win against Texas.

(5) LSU vs. Tennessee

LSU took this series 2-1 in Baton Rouge earlier in the year, but that was a different (worse) Tennessee team. LSU has been dominant during the NCAA tournament, going undefeated in the first two rounds and winning by an average of 6.2 runs per game. Their two studs have been studding in the postseason: CF Dylan Crews is hitting .578 with a 1.692 OPS and SP Paul Skenes has thrown 16.2 innings with a 0.54 ERA and a 21-1 K:BB.

sounds about right for Tennessee, who has had to go on the road the entire tournament and has had nothing easy so far.
