The eight teams there are:
Bracket One: Clemson, Georgia Tech, Cal State Fullerton, North Carolina
Bracke Two: Rice, Georgia, Oregon State, Miami
For a preview read Bryan Smith at Baseball Analysts.
The final four teams come from four different conferences: ACC (North Carolina), Big West (Cal State Fullerton), C-USA (Rice), and Pac-10 (Oregon State).
2 - Depends on goal differential. Clemson has to win by at least three and hope that the Dallas Mavericks lose to avoid a second round matchup with Argentina. Odds are prohibitive against UNC having to play Argentina next, because Andrew Miller's eleven goals and two walks aloud in their first game against Trinidad & Tobago put them way ahead of everybody on goal/walk ratio and goal differential.
You'd think I was doing the FIFA gamecast.
