No. 3 FSU Has The Better Offense

FSU hitters bat .311, have more home runs in fewer games, and are capable of making things happen on the bases more than the Beavers.

Oregon State hitters bat .292 and have not faced the same quality of arms throughout the season as the Noles.

When I look at Oregon State's schedule, they've played some solid teams no doubt. Their best win is against UCLA early in the season. However, their stats seem to be padded a bit by playing teams with inferior talent.

That's the reason they had the weakest strength of schedule overall by far of the top eight national seeds.
