Iowa 6, #25 UC-Irvine 3

Didn't see that coming, maybe the Big Ten can find 5 bids if Iowa wins this series and finishes strong.

I would prefer Iowa not make a regional.

In all seriousness, I would love for the Big Ten to be a 5-bid conference. However, we (both NU and the conference) need to actually do something. There hasn't been a Top 8 National Seed from the Big Ten and just one Super Regional qualifier since the 2015 season.

Since we joined the conference...

2012 (1-4, 2 teams, 0 teams out of Regional round)
Purdue (45-14, 17-7 (#1), auto qualifier): 1-2 as #1-seed / Regional "Host" (at Gary, IN)
Michigan State (37-24, 13-11 (#5), at large): 0-2 as #3 seed at Palo Atlo

2013 (7-4, 2 teams, 1 CWS Qualifier)
Indiana (49-16, 17-7 (#1), auto qualifier): 6-2 in Bloomington / Regional Host, Tallahassee, CWS Qualifier
Illinois (35-20, 14-10 (#5), at large): 1-2 as #3 seed in Nashville

2014 (3-4, 2 teams, 0 teams out of Regional round)
Indiana (42-13, 21-3 (#1), auto qualifier): 2-2 in Bloomington / Regional Host as #4 National Seed
Nebraska (40-19, 18-6 (#2), at large): 1-2 as #2 seed in Stillwater Regional

2015 (11-11, 5 teams, 2 Super Regional teams)
Michigan (39-25, 14-10 (T-#3), auto qualifier): 2-2 as #3 seed in Louisville Regional
Illinois (50-10, 21-1 (#1), at large): 3-2 in Champaign / Regional Host and Super Regional Host as #6 National Seed
Iowa (41-18, 19-5 (#2), at large): 2-2 as #2 seed in Springfield (MO) Regional
Maryland (42-24, 14-10 (T-#3), at large): 3-3 as #3 seed in LA (UCLA) Regional and Charlottesville (VA) Super Regional
Indiana (35-24, 12-10 (#6), at large): 1-2 as #3 seed in Nashville Regional

2016 (3-6, 3 teams, 0 teams out of Regional round)
Ohio State (44-20-1, 15-9 (#3), auto qualifier): 1-2 as #2 seed in Louisville Regional

2017 (3-10, 5 teams, 0 teams out of Regional round)

Indiana (34-24-2, 14-9-1 (#6), at large): 1-2 as #2 seed in Lexington (KY) Regional

2018 (6-8, 4 teams, 1 Super Regional team)
Minnesota (41-13, 18-4 (#1), auto qualifier): 3-2 in Minneapolis / Regional Host and in Corvallis Super Regional as #14 National Seed
Purdue (37-19, 17-6 (#2), at large): 1-2 as #2 seed in Chapel Hill Regional

Ohio State (36-22, 14-10 (#7), at large): 0-2 as #3 seed in Greenville (NC) Regional

I would prefer Iowa not make a regional.

I hope they do just so people on RSS shut up a little about how bad the league is.
