I really wished this series was later in the season to build up the hype, but it is what it is. The preseason No. 1 and 2 teams - Houston and UCF - meet in the first AAC series of the season this Friday through Sunday in Orlando.
ESPN's Eric Sorenson says UCF-Houston is the No. 1 series of the weekend (video link).
Perfect Game on the series: "The atmosphere in Orlando should be electric and this series certainly has a Super Regional feel to it."
Here's UCF's press release and the associated promotions:
