Texas’ latest Field of 64 projections for the postseason

The latest postseason bracketology from D1Baseball on May 26 still projects Texas to land in the College Station Regional with the in-state rival Texas A&M Aggies. As was projected earlier this weekend, Texas A&M is still slotted as the No. 4 national seed this postseason.

The latest RPI ranks the Longhorns as the No. 46 team in the nation.

It looks like the Longhorns won't be hosting a regional in Austin for the first time since the 2019 season. Head coach David Pierce and the Longhorns finished the regular season and Big 12 Tournament with a record of 35-22 (20-10 Big 12).

Texas was bounced after going 0-2 in the Big 12 Tournament for the second year in a row. While the path ahead may be difficult, Texas is looking to return to Omaha for the College World Series for the first time since 2022.
