FSU is in third place in the ACC standings and is looking to make another run in the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseballamerica.com\/stories\/2026-ncaa-baseball-tournament-bracket-projected-field-of-64-april-21\/\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baseball America&#8217;s<\/a> bracketology of the field of 64 seems to agree with this sentiment, as in their rankings, Florida State remains a No. 1 seed, as they have for most of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">FSU is projected to host the Tallahassee regionals as the No. 11 overall seed and would host Missouri State, <a href=\"http:\/\/volswire.usatoday.com\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tennessee<\/a>, and North Florida. They just faced the North Florida Ospreys and defeated them 4-1. They faced Tennessee in the College World Series in 2024, so that would certainly be an intriguing matchup if it were to become a reality. Other notable No. 1 seeds expected to host regionals include UCLA, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia Tech.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Seminoles are 32-48 in the NCAA tournament rounds. Their season continues on Friday when they face Stanford. Fans can catch that game on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on the ACC Network Extra.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776913767_956_87125517007-renewalby-andersonlogo.png\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Jacob Smith is a contributor for FSU Wire, part of the USA TODAY Network.\u00a0You can also follow Jacob on X <a href=\"http:\/\/x.com\/jsmith_sports\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow\">@jsmith_sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 22, 2026, 10:58 a.m. ET No. 8 Florida State baseball (29-11, 12-6 ACC) is traveling to Palo&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2289],"tags":[67525,5,648,1694,2341,73855,67701,68107,73150,68416,69207,73856,72277,70412,67528,67529,67527],"class_list":{"0":"post-681528","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-college-baseball","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-college-baseball","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-baseball","13":"tag-sstssportscollegefsubaseball","14":"tag-sstsnbaseball","15":"tag-tagcollege-baseball","16":"tag-tagcollege-basketball","17":"tag-tagcolleges-universities","18":"tag-tagflorida","19":"tag-tagflorida-state-seminoles","20":"tag-tagflorida-state-university","21":"tag-tagncaa-atlantic-coast-conference","22":"tag-tagoverall-positive","23":"tag-tagsports-news","24":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116451827026004464","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
