It’s that time of year again! Omaha is calling and the 2019 NCAA Baseball Tournament Bracket is ready to go.
The tournament will get underway today and goes through June 3rd with regionals in different campuses around the country. Super Regionals will follow from June 7th through the 10th, and it will all culminate in Omaha.
If this is your first tournament, let’s break this down for you.
The tournament starts with 64 teams in 16 different regional sites selected by the committee. Win the regional and your team will advance to eight best-of-three super regionals. Win the super regionals, and you are headed to Omaha for the College World Series.
For the first time in program history, the UCLA Bruins won every single series they played in this season. They didn’t win every game, but they won every series, and that’s an impressive feat. That accomplishment earned them the No. 1 national seed in the tournament.
The No. 2 seed is Vanderbilt who lost a single game in its last 23 matchups. Georgia Tech, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Louisville, and Texas Tech follow, in that order. As the top eight seeds, these teams get to host super regionals at home, assuming they win their respective regionals. The final decision on who will host super regionals will take place on June 4th.
Oklahoma State, East Carolina, Stanford, Mississippi, LSU, North Carolina, West Virginia, and defending national champion Oregon State are also in the top 16 leading into the tournament. All eyes are on these sixteen teams, but don’t count the other 48 teams out.
Take a look at the complete bracket below:
Place your bets now ladies and gents. Who do you have to win the whole NCAA Baseball Tournament?
