Feeling bubbly?
Baseball America has Clemson and USC as "on-the bubble (out)" in its national seed projections as part of its "stock report." Depending on how other bubble teams in the national seed picture do, USC and Clemson could enhance their chances with series wins this weekend and a couple of wins in the league tournaments next week. Clemson is listed as being a secure selection as a regional host, while USC is tabbed as "on the bubble (in)." Midweek losses to Furman and Gardner-Webb being swept by SEC foes Arkansas and Florida hurt the Gamecocks.  Coastal Carolina is listed as "safely in."
