Mandatory Credit: Dustin Safranek-Imagn Images | Dustin Safranek-Imagn ImagesUCLA is the only one of the four teams in this region ranked in any of the latest Top 25 polls and in the top 25 in RPI nationally. On paper at least, that means the Bruins should emerge as the winner of this region. Virginia Tech has the best remaining RPI ranking of the other teams in the region at 42nd in the country, while Cal Poly sits just outside the top 70, and Saint Mary's is way down the list at 140th. Both of the latter teams were likely affected by playing a lower strength of schedule due to being members of smaller conferences.𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠, 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙞, 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙞 🌴#Hokies 🦃⚾️ pic.twitter.com/fc8YILmAEE— Virginia Tech Baseball (@HokiesBaseball) May 25, 2026Cal Poly and Saint Mary's are making their second consecutive NCAA Baseball Tournament appearances. Cal Poly tied for first place in the Big West with UC-Santa Barbara, which is also in the 64-team field. They were the only two Big West teams to finish the season with records above .500. Saint Mary's is the only WCC team after taking down the top four teams in the conference on its way to the WCC Tournament title, sealing an automatic bid.Meanwhile, Virginia Tech is one of eight ACC teams to make the Tournament, earning its first appearance in four years. The Hokies finished seventh in the ACC during the regular season, but their favorable RPI and reaching the ACC Tournament quarterfinals boosted their resume.
