CWS Seeds

The character-limited edit summary doesn't seem to be enough for me to understand your reasoning for entering seed numbers into the College World Series bracket when not even a single super regional game has been contested. I clarification on the talk page about the national seeds. In summary, the national seeds are what they are (1–8). However, specifically in the case of the national seed that has already lost (#7 Clemson), how can the #7 seed be placed into a bracket for a later round? See previous years' brackets (e.g. 2015) for this in practice – you'll notice that there are no seed numbers for the national championship because no national seeds remained). Other than that, I can't really figure out your reasoning for putting the seeds in advance. Can we discuss here or at the article's talk page so we're all on the same page?

I think I may understand – are you adding the seeds simply to show that the Super Regional winner from that national seed's bracket (or former bracket) will occupy that space? If that is so, then although helpful now, it isn't necessary (hasn't been done in years prior) as there isn't really any good in knowing what specific position a team on a bracket will occupy as long as there is some logical way for the 1 and 2 seeds to potentially meet in a championship.

Yes. As it sat, and in the past there was no link to where the super regional winners would fit into the CWS bracket. The temporary seed numbers should indicate the formation of the bracket, but do not need to stay once the bracket is filled. This allows any follower of the original 64 teams to locate the slot corresponding with the national seed within their super regional bracket and identify the super regional they are paired against should they advance to the first round of the CWS. For example: Coastal Carolina fans could see from game 1 that they should pay more attention to the potential Gainesville Super Regional than the College Station, and Lubbock Super Regionals, and of the teams in the other four Supers they would only ever see one team, and that's in the CWS final. A lot of confusion goes into CWS bracket seeding when national seeds get knocked out. Many fans that loosely follow baseball may think that CWS contenders get reseeded before Omaha, especially if they just look at the pictures. 205.142.232.18 (talk) 16:53, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
