The road to the College World Series in Omaha is underway
• 4 min read
The 2024 NCAA baseball tournament is underway, and by Monday night the 64-team field will be trimmed to 16. Action started Friday and 12 teams so far have punched their tickets to the Super Regionals. Top seeds like Tennessee, Georgia, NC State, Kentucky, Texas A&M and Virginia have moved on. There’s also one big Cinderella in this year’s field. Evansville won the Greenville regional, with East Carolina and Wake Forest getting knocked out in the process.
Before we jump in, you should know that the structure of the NCAA Baseball Tournament is a bit different from the more familiar hoops variant. Here’s what you need to know on that front.
NCAA Baseball Tournament format
- The first round of play is known as the regional and it’s a double-elimination format. Each of the 16 No. 1 seeds hosts its respective four-team regional, when possible. Each of the 16 regionals is seeded one through four. In each region, No. 1 faces No. 4, and No. 2 faces No. 3 on the first day of action. The winners of those two games then play each other, while the losers play an elimination game.
- The winner of each regional advances to the super regional. The super regional, which includes a total of 16 teams, is a best-of-three series format.
- The winners of the super regionals — eight teams in all — advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
- The College World Series is a double-elimination format until the final two teams are left standing. At that point, the slates are wiped clean and it’s a best-of-three series to determine the national champion.
