Useless Stat Department

The College World Series starts on Saturday. Here is a useless stat for you:

Elimination Games Faced in 2008 NCAA Tournament
0 - #2 North Carolina
0 - #6 Rice
2 - #1 Miami
2 - #7 LSU
3 - Fresno St.
4 - Stanford
5 - #8 Georgia
6 - #4 Florida St.

While North Carolina and Rice are undefeated, Florida St. has been living on the edge the whole tournament. Florida St. lost the opener in the regional and super-regional rounds.

Of the 8 national seeds, only #3 Arizona St. and #5 Cal St. Fullerton failed to reach the College World Series. Fresno St. remains the ultimate Cinderella. Despite receiving the lowest seed in their pod, they are still alive.
