12 out of 16 picks right for the regionals.
Texas and LSU folded like lawn chairs--which makes me really wonder if Alabama is as good as everyone says they are. Hawaii outlasted Stanford, and Arizona squeaked by Hofstra(???).
My picks:
I don't think Alabama is as good as everyone says they are, but I'm still picking Alabama over Hawaii.
Missouri over Oregon--this is perhaps the most difficult decision. Missouri didn't play particularly well, and won their regional. Oregon played great. Perhaps Missouri will wake up and win this one.
UCLA over ULL--what most people don't know is that University of Louisiana-Lafayette has a very proud softball tradition. ULL used to be Southwest Louisiana State. They have been to the CWS times. They were playing softball while the SEC was debating whether southern girls should even touch a softball.
Arizona State over Florida--no, I don't think Florida is as good as everyone wishes they were.
Washington over Oklahoma--Can anyone say "Danielle Lawrie"?
California over Georgia--California is very good this year.
Arizona luckily got out of the regional. By all rights, I should be picking BYU over Arizona. I can't...I just can't predict "BYU beats Arizona". So, I'm going with Arizona.
Michigan over Tennessee. Michigan is just too good this year.

I was rooting for Auburn to win, but since that didn't happen I couldn't help but root for Oregon. I loved the exciting ending to the Oregon/GA Tech game and for a freshman pitcher she sure held it together pretty darn good! Especially going against the amazing Jen Yee!
