Seven of the top 16 national seeds were eliminated in regionals. Including both No. 1 UCLA and No. 2 Georgia Tech, the top two overall seeds, in the first weekend.
Every regional, every survivor, and the eight Super Regional matchups — with equal rigor for the mid-majors the bracket overlooked.
Read it →Saint Mary’s (4-seed), which beat UCLA twice. 3-2, then 6-5 in 10 on a Makoa Sniffen walk-off. UCLA became the fifth No. 1 overall seed ever to lose its regional and the first to lose its regional opener.

The College World Series has been played in Omaha, Nebraska since 1950 — making it the longest-running city-sport relationship in NCAA history. Charles Schwab Field (formerly TD Ameritrade Park) has hosted since 2011, seating 24,000 fans in a stadium purpose-built for the event.
Getting there is the hard part. The NCAA tournament is a 64-team gauntlet that eliminates 56 teams in two weeks. Regionals are double-elimination, four-team brackets hosted by the top 16 national seeds. Win your regional, and you earn a super regional — a best-of-three series against another regional champion, hosted by the higher seed.
What separates college baseball from every other NCAA tournament: there is no single-elimination luck. Double-elimination means the best team almost always advances. You have to beat a team twice to knock them out. That rewards depth, pitching, and the ability to win under pressure — which is why programs like LSU, Florida, and Texas keep showing up.
The CWS itself is two four-team brackets, each double-elimination. The bracket winners meet in a best-of-three championship series — typically played on a Saturday, Sunday, and Monday if needed in late June. It is, by any measure, the best championship event in college sports.
