Overseeded: Kansas, Oregon State. Seems like Iowa is seeded low, but I heard they lost alot of guys. Everything else looks real good. Will Georgia live up to their 4 seed? That UBC-UGA game should be great.

Currently, no. But Brown won Classic City Classic in 1998, 1999, and 2000, and was in fact undefeated south of the Mason-Dixon throughout that span. Also, UCSB won nationals 3 times in a row a couple times.

i believe Oregon State lost their best player from last year- #2 I think it was, tall lefthander with great throws. They took us to double game last year at the invite as well, but I'm not sure how their holding up right now.
OSU is working well under their new leadership. They have tight teamwork on the field and have solid skills. While their offense may look standard, their step-out-and-throw-break-mark handling will rattle any team. They've got speed and they've got height. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Anyone who looks past the Beavers is in trouble.
