Full College World Series bracket finalized following completion of Super Regionals
The 2022 College World Series is here. This year’s NCAA Baseball Tournament has been one to remember, and the season is still far from being over. The entire postseason has been exciting, dating all the way back to conference tournaments and extending through Super Regionals. On Friday, the final push towards the College World Series will get underway with the first part of the bracket beginning play.
Following Monday’s Super Regional results, the full bracket has been finalized for Omaha.
Six teams had already advanced to Omaha entering Monday. On Sunday, Notre Dame punched its ticket with a victory in Game 3 over Tennessee, while Oklahoma took down Virginia Tech and Texas defeated East Carolina. Ole Miss also advanced to Omaha on Sunday, picking up a Super Regional sweep over Southern Miss. Texas A&M was the first team to punch its ticket, sweeping Louisville and wrapping up that Super Regional on Saturday.
The first bracket in the College World Series is an intriguing one, with two Big 12 rivals, two teams from Texas, and just two teams that were regional hosts.
Stanford became the first team from Monday to advance to the CWS after defeating Connecticut. Finally, Auburn rounded out the field with a victory against Oregon State to close Super Regional action.
Once the College World Series begins, it will be just like a traditional regional format. The eight teams in Omaha will be split into two different brackets. From there, in each bracket the winners of the opening games will face off in the winners bracket, while the losers will look to stave off elimination in the losers bracket. The opening weekend of the College World Series will be double elimination, and the two teams to advance out of their respective brackets will advance to the championship round.
Once there are two teams remaining, they will face off in a best-of-three series to determine the winner of this year’s national championship. The first team to pick up two victories over that series will secure a title.
