Tennessee baseball has just three weeks remaining in the regular season before heading to Hoover for the SEC Tournament.<\/p>\n

Josh Elander\u2019s first Tennessee team currently boats a 30-15 (10-11 SEC) record with three SEC series remaining. After spending much of the season on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble, the Vols sit in a strong spot to make the tournament this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cA steady finish should secure favorable seeding, and at this point, it would take a significant collapse for Tennessee to fall out of the field,\u201d Baseball America\u2019s Jacob Rudner wrote<\/a> of Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Where do the Vols land in the latest Field of 64 Projections from Baseball America<\/a> and D1Baseball<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Baseball America tabs Tennessee as a two-seed and No. 29 overall seed in the Chapel Hill Regional with No. 4 overall seed North Carolina. The other teams in the Chase Hill Regional are three-seed Saint Joseph\u2019s and four-seed Binghamton.<\/p>\n

If Tennessee were to pull the upset in the Chapel Hill Regional, they would face the winner of Oxford Regional including 13-seed Ole Miss, Boston College, UAB and Oral Roberts.<\/p>\n

D1Baseball projects Tennessee as a two-seed and No. 22 overall seed in the Conway Regional. The other teams in the Conway Regional include No. 10 overall seed Coastal Carolina, three-seed Western Carolina and four-seed Campbell.<\/p>\n

If Tennessee were to pull the upset in the Conway Regional, the Vols would face the winner of the Lawrence Regional including No. 7 seed Kansas, Virginia, Missouri State and Oral Roberts.<\/p>\n

In last week\u2019s Field of 64 projections, Tennessee was a three-seed according to both major outlets. But the Vols moved up to the two-line following their series victory over Alabama.<\/p>\n

At the time of publication, Tennessee ranks No. 32 in RPI<\/a>. The Vols boast an 8-6 record against Quad 1 opponents, 1-3 against Quad 2 opponents, 3-4 against Quad 3 opponents and 18-2 against Quad 4 opponents.<\/p>\n

The Vols still have opportunities to improve their resume to close the regular season. Tennessee heads on the road to face Kentucky in a three-game series this weekend before hosting Texas in the final home series of the regular season at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Vols conclude the regular season with a three-game series against Oklahoma in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n

While Tennessee has improved its chances to make the NCAA Tournament over the last three weeks, they still only have an outside chance to host a regional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo via Tennessee Athletics Tennessee baseball has just three weeks remaining in the regular season before heading to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":685929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2289],"tags":[5,3969,648,15200,56553,1694,2341,2410],"class_list":["post-685928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-college-baseball","tag-baseball","tag-baseball-america","tag-college-baseball","tag-d1baseball","tag-josh-elander","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-baseball","tag-tennessee-baseball"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116488631992510617","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685928","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=685928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
