NEW YORK (AP) — Arizona State is No. 1 — for now.

The pressure's on the Sun Devils to finish the season in that same spot after being selected Monday as the top seed for the NCAA Division I college baseball tournament.

"They really didn't make very many mistakes throughout the course of the season and down the stretch," selection committee chairman Tim Weiser said.

Arizona State (47-8) has had an outstanding season under interim coach Tim Esmay, who replaced Pat Murphy after he abruptly resigned in November after 15 years. The Pac-10 champions will host one of 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals that begin Friday. Arizona State opens against Horizon League champion Milwaukee (33-24).

It's the first time Arizona State has been the No. 1 overall seed.

The other national seeds, in order, are: Texas (46-11), Florida (42-15), Coastal Carolina (51-7), Virginia (47-11), UCLA (43-13), Louisville (48-12) and Georgia Tech (45-13).

The Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac-10 and Southeastern Conference each had eight schools selected by the NCAA baseball committee for the 64-team field, all-time highs for both the ACC and Pac-10.
