WF opened the season #1, and could have as many as 5 #1 picks. WF is 26-14 and 11-10 in the ACC. So, there is no doubt that the season has been disappointing to this point. That said, none of it really matters that much.
While its not really fair, what matters is if WF makes it back to Omaha. If WF returns to the CWS, no one is going to GAF about the Elon or UNCG losses or even the UNC sweep. OTOH, if WF was 35-5 right now and still #1, the season would be a disappointment if WF lost in the sub-regional or the super regional. It's high bar and baseball lends itself to upsets, but when you open the season #1 and have so much high-end talent, anything short of making it Omaha feels like a let-down.
Right now, the important thing for this team is play well enough to get a national seed; so, the Deacs host a sub-regional. If the season ended right now, WF would host. To further enhance WF's chances, the Deacs need to get a top 8 seed to ensure WF is hosting a super-regional. WF is right on the edge, but has work to do to get there. So, it's fair to say WF baseball has under-performed to date, and also, it's reasonable to feel like there is room for WF baseball to achieve its key season goals.
