ACC Teams
The ACC has five teams in Super Regionals, tied with the SEC for the most of any conference. North Carolina, Clemson, Florida State, NC State and Virginia represent the ACC. Out of the five Atlantic Coast squads, only NC State will not host its own series this coming weekend.
Joe Healy from D1 Baseball believes one team in particular has the ability to make some noise in the super regionals.

SEC Teams
Turning to the SEC, four Southeastern Conference squads (Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas A&M and Georgia) will host their respective Super Regional. Florida is the only SEC team to not host their own series, as the Gators will be travel to South Carolina to take on Clemson.
Healy feels most confident in one SEC team in particular.

Florida’s Run
Florida baseball has had a rollercoaster of a story this season. Before the NCAA Tournament began, questions surrounded the Gators as to whether they deserved a Regionals berth or not. Ultimately, Florida earned the three-seed in the Stillwater regional, and they took advantage of it. Florida dominated Nebraska before falling to Oklahoma State for the first time, putting the Gators on the brink of elimination. Nevertheless, UF bounced back and won three in a row, including wins over Oklahoma State twice in a row, to advance.
Now, Florida will look to continue its hot streak against Clemson this weekend.
