All or nothing

Back in the day, LSU would be packing its bags for Omaha and the College World Series. All you had to do in the past was win a regional and head to Omaha.

Then came the best-of-three Super Regional series. And all of a sudden, getting to Omaha got a whole lot harder.

Of the eight series played this weekend, LSU is the only top-10 team playing another top-10 team in this week's Baseball America poll. Thus, the Tigers have the toughest opponent (No. 6 Rice) in the Super Regionals.

And, it's all or nothing. Two wins and it's on to Omaha. Two losses and, let's face it, the season would be deemed a failure by most. You might think that's harsh, but this is a team that began the season ranked No. 1 and is currently ranked No. 1 in the Baseball America poll. This is a team -- tough opponent or not -- that expects to be in Omaha.

We'll see how they do with this all-or-nothing test.
