Florida State didn’t earn a top-8 national seed on Monday afternoon. But the Seminoles also won’t have to face an SEC team in the Tallahassee Regional this weekend.

FSU (38-17) will play host to Coastal Carolina, Northern Illinois and St. John’s in a four-team regional that begins on Friday at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles will open up against St. John’s on Friday at 3 p.m. (ACC Network). Coastal Carolina (37-21) is the No. 2 seed in the regional and will face No. 3 seed Northern Illinois at 8 p.m. (ESPN+).

The Seminoles would be paired up with Alabama in a best-of-three Super Regional, should those teams advance. If FSU and Alabama win regionals, the Seminoles will travel for the Super Regional.

In order, the national seeds: UCLA, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Auburn, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama and Florida.

FSU faced a large number of teams that will play in the NCAA Tournament. Georgia Tech and Auburn earned top-8 national seed as well as regional host Florida. The Seminoles also played the likes of Miami, Wake Forest and Nebraska. Miami will play in the Gainesville Regional.

This is the third straight season that FSU is hosting a regional. The Seminoles advanced to the Super Regional in 2025, losing at Oregon State. FSU is seeking its second trip to the College World Series under coach Link Jarrett (the team went 2-2 at Omaha in 2024).
