College baseball is not for the faint of heart. From big major conference ball clubs to the little bitty small ball clubs in the mid major conferences. Each club has a 1 in 258 chance in winning the national championship, or a 0.3875% chance each year. If everything was equal, you would have about a 40% chance of seeing your favorite college team lift the national championship in your lifetime. A good year would be just being in the playoff picture come the 1st of May. A great year would being making the playoffs. A fantastic year would be making it through six rounds of a best of seven series to be crowded the best college in all the land. 90 regular season games, at least 24 playoff games, six months of baseball with 258 teams, all in the hopes to be crowned the best. Do you have what it takes to be the best?

I love big games, when I make OOTP games I would make as many teams as I can without crashing my computer (it's seven years old). Last night instead of doing school work (oops) I decided to put every Division 1 College baseball team into the game. The 26 conferences are split into to leagues of 13 conferences each. The season runs from February to July culminating with the National Championship. There are 90 regular season games with 64 teams making the postseason playoffs. Each conference winner gets an automatic bid into the big dance with some conferences getting to bids (conferences with at least 12 teams) for 32 automatic bids. The other remaining teams come from the wildcard spots (17 wild card spots from the AL, 15 from the NL. My reasoning: there are 15 automatic bids in the AL, 17 in the NL). Every playoff series is in the 22111 format. Active roster limit is 25 and each team can have 15 reserves.

Now the big question: who did I take control of? To me, this is always a complicated question, no matter what game I play. I usually have reasons to play as many different teams. For example: Tennessee Volunteers, my favorite school; Monmouth Hawks or Rutgers Scarlet Knights, both close to my hometown; NJIT Highlanders, friends go there; PSU Nittney Lions, my SO's favorite team. With all of these choice it can usually take me at least 30 minutes to pick a team. However, I decided to chose none of these aforementioned trams. I decided to go with my older sister's alma matar: Lehigh University Mountain Hawks. I already finished my first season.

With an up-and-down second half of the season, can the Mountain Hawks play good enough baseball to stay within the NL WildCards? Tune in later to find out!
