ACC and SEC both eliminated quickly from CWS

[Epictetus]

Six teams left, none from two dominant conferences. When's the last time that happened?

Now, who's going to be the last standing...OSU?

My quick count says;17 of 64 team field, 13 of 16 hosts, 7 of 8 top seeds from those 2 conferences and they 2 that made it to Omaha were the first 2 out. It's baseball and in a short series anything can happen.
Cowboys have been pitching lights out and have pitching depth.

Digging the Chicken!

So it's Arizona vs Coastal Carolina. Two teams who neither hosted a regional nor a super regional. The two highest seeds in the World Series (#1 Florida and #3 Miami) were the first 2 teams eliminated. Just a crazy season. Did the committee completely screw up or is there much more parity in college baseball?

Tonight's championship game will be a record 17 games to decide the CWS. I believe it will be the first time both teams have come out of the 'losers' bracket. It has been a great CWS. Still digging the Chicken.

Go Hoosiers!

Final Top 25

A wild and tumultuous postseason came to a close on Thursday as Coastal Carolina were crowned National Champions by winning the 2016 College World with a 4-3 win over Arizona. Coastal Carolina, who opened the year as PG's 21st ranked team, spent the entire season ranked within the Perfect Game/Rawlings Top 25.

All season long they proved they belonged in the conversation and were far from a fluke. During the regular season they beat fellow postseason participants including Virginia, Duke, Ohio State, UNC Wilmington and Stetson before sweeping their competition in the Big South Championship. They then knocked out a pair of Regional hosts in NC State and LSU before taking down Florida, Texas Tech, TCU, and of course, Arizona, in Omaha.

Stay tuned to Perfect Game over the coming days as we will release the Perfect Game/Rawlings Player, Pitcher, Freshman and Coach of the Year awards on Monday while looking ahead to the picks to click for the 2017 College World Series.
