The Southeastern 16 crew breaks down and offers predictions for the Oxford Regional of the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament. Topics include: Ole Miss saw bullpen improvement that offset the loss of starter Mason Nichols thanks to a bullpen of Mason Morris, Will McCausland, Walker Hooks, Cade Townsend, Hudson Calhoun and Gunnar Dennis that pitched its best at season's end. The Rebels were one of the nation's home-run leaders thanks to Austin Fawley (17), Mitchell Sanford (15 HR), Judd Utermark (16), Isaac Humphrey and Ryan Moerman (11) and Will Furniss (10). The Rebels nearly won the SEC tournament; can they carry that momentum into a home regional? Georgia Tech brings a star-studded lineup led by potential 2026 No. 1 MLB Draft pick Drew Burress, Kyle Lodise and Alex Hernandez that hit .315/416/.538 as a team. Does Tech have the pitching to bring home a regional crown? Western Kentucky is a two-seed that could be better than some threes in other regionals. The Hilltoppers were paced by Conference USA player of the year Ryan Wideman (10 HR, 45 SB) as part of a lineup that hit 70 homers and swiped 126 bases. A pitching staff of Drew Whalen, Jack Bennett, Lucas Hartman, Gavin Perry, Dawson Hall, Cal Higgins and Patrick Morris helped WKU to a 3.35 ERA, which ranked as third-best in the country. Murray State hit .301/.419/.497 as a team and might be the toughest four-seed in the field. Can the Racers slug their way to wins with Jonathan Hogart and Carson Garner (16 homers), Will Vierling (10) and crew?

Alabama "Preview" Starts at 1:00 Welcome to the utterly meaningless bowl game we are less excited for than any Michigan game before. Now that we're paying the players, shouldn't they be expected to complete the season? Contracts would do that. Is Alabama interested in showing up? They have a few players like Milroe who need to show something. Michigan's offense was bad to begin with so what are they now? Jadyn Davis should play at least. Glorified spring game bits: looking forward to seeing Andrew Sprague, the running backs. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Portal: Offense Starts at 19:59 Mikey Keene is a floor, played with Dillon Gabriel (and Chip Lindsay) at UCF so it's not the first time he's been with a talented dual-threat. Thrown a LOT of passes, can loft one downfield, isn't a run threat, was probably a scramble after Billy Edwards didn't want to compete with Bryce. When do you start Bryce, because Game 2 is in Norman and Game 3 is in Lincoln. They got OL Brady Norton who's an addition to the 2023 class, Donaven McCulley we like as that downfield threat. Wanted to see more WRs and a TE and better luck at OL: Josh Thompson chose LSU. 3. Portal: Defense Starts at 43:50 Hot takes segment has ideas for retaining the Outback Bowl legacy. Damon Payne is a very good pickup even though he's not flashy because DTs are a premium position and he's a decent SEC player. Troy Bowles was in a stacked LB room, comp is Hausmann. Metcalfs played at Chip Lindsay's high school in Pinson, Alabama, TJ is a high floor for the safety position and Tevis is a developmental cornerback. Don't have any glaring needs. Discussion of Barham's move to edge—think it's a Jaylen Harrell position thing in the 5-2, which is more about holding the edge than rushing it. Always get a 5th year cornerback, but they can get that on the cheap later in the process. 4. Basketball vs WKU/PFW and Big Ten Outlook Starts at 1:04:48 After the Oklahoma loss that we're STILL MAD about, the threes are falling, which makes this team utterly terrifying. WKU chose not to defend the perimeter, had a lot of injuries, and PFW was also super small up front so those are not great tests. Good news: Big Ten doesn't have a lot of NBA guards who can tear them up by driving. USC-UCLA road trip next week will be fascinating—USC is a bunch of power forwards even with T-Will out for the season and UCLA is all defense.
