NCAA baseball conference tournaments 2023, selection show


Conference tournaments are underway as teams are vying for automatic bids for the NCAA tournament, and there are upsets happening all over the place already.

Wake Forest is the No. 1 team in the country, according to D1baseball.com, and the Demon Deacons are looking for their first ACC conference tournament title in over 20 years. But it won’t be an easy task with Clemson rolling — the Tigers are currently ranked No. 6 in the country and won 12 straight games to end the regular season.

Elsewhere, the SEC tournament seems completely up for grabs. Arkansas and Florida each took a share of the regular-season title, and with LSU stumbling at the end and other teams stepping up, such as Alabama, each game is a must-see. The latest projections from D1baseball.com have 10 teams from the SEC reaching the NCAA tournament. The past two NCAA champions, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, notably did not qualify for the conference tourney.

Oklahoma State, Texas, and West Virginia all took a share of the Big 12 regular-season title, leaving the conference tournament wide open for anyone’s taking and anyone’s automatic bid.

The Pac-12 is in the second iteration of its postseason tournament, with its pool play extending from eight teams to nine. Stanford has been solid all year long, currently ranked No. 3 in the country, and the Cardinal will be hard to knock out as the format of the Pac-12 tournament favors the top three seeds (No. 1 Stanford, No. 2 Oregon State, No. 3 Washington).

Maryland has won back-to-back Big Ten regular-season titles and is looking to add a conference tournament title to its résumé as the Terrapins are No. 23 team in the country, the highest-ranked Big Ten team.

After all is said and done, teams will find out Monday if they have made it to the NCAA tournament during the selection show.
