The end of the college baseball regular season is just around the corner, which means that the postseason is just about to begin. With a nearly full season now in the books, the final pieces of the regional tournament picture are finally falling into place.

Mind you, there are still games left to be played but with a nearly complete sample size on hand, USA TODAY Sports duo Eddie Timanus and Erick Smith took a stab at projecting what the early postseason picture will look like. Among those listed are the Florida Gators, whose late-season surge saved them from a lost season and got them back to the NCAA Tournament.

Timanus and Smith agreed that the Orange and Blue will be the second seed in the Fort Worth Region, where the TCU Horned Frogs hold the top seed. Also included in that bracket are the Virginia Cavaliers at the No. 3 seed and the Wright State Raiders at No. 4.
