Much has changed, though some has stayed the same, since the last time we looked at a projection of this summer's NCAA baseball regional field. With the month of May just a few days away and only a few weeks of conference play remaining before the start of the league tournaments, it's time to take another look at who's on pace to be among the field of sixty-four in 2006. In addition to projecting the entire bracket, we also glance at who is likely to host each of the sixteen first round regionals and who looks to have a lock on the top eight national seeds heading into the final month of activity.
