The national top eight seeds are Florida (47-13), Louisville (47-12), Miami (45-11), Texas A&M (45-14), Texas Tech (41-16), Mississippi State (41-16-1), Clemson (42-18) and LSU (42-18).
Among the first-timers are Fairfield, who Teddy Cahill profiled today in Off The Bat, Alabama State, St. Mary’s and Utah Valley. Twenty-five of the 64 teams return to the field.
