The eight teams in Omaha have combined for 74 appearances in the College World Series and 16 national championships.

Coastal Carolina has cemented the 2025 season as the second-best campaign in program history, reaching the MCWS for the second-time ever after downing No. 4 Auburn, and has the potential to seize the top spot.

While this year's Men's College World Series field has no teams that made it to Omaha in 2024, there's a still a mix of teams with championship pedigree and programs making their first trip to Charles Schwab Field.

The top-ranked teams in the field face off today as the LSU Tigers face the Arkansas Razorbacks in Men’s College World Series action.

Here is how the Men's College World Series works, including how teams make the MCWS, the format and the schedule.

Arkansas opened a 7-1 lead with a five-run fourth inning. Logan Maxwell hit a grand slam off AJ Russell, the Vols' third pitcher of the inning. The Razorbacks loaded the bases on singles by Cam Kozeal and Reese Robinett, followed by an intentional walk to Charles Davalan to set up a force play.
