Men's College World Series Regionals: Teams, seedings, schedule, scores, and more

02/06/2025 01:28

The Road to Omaha begins Friday with the Regionals. Here's all you need to know

The Road to Omaha, and the College World Series, begins this week.

Starting Friday, regional action in the Men's College World Series begins. While the Men's College World Series is the most well-known part of the Division I baseball tournament, the 64-team tournament begins this week at various sites throughout the college baseball world.

Here are the teams, schedules, seedings, bracket, and more as it all gets underway Friday.

How does the NCAA Division 1 baseball tournament work?

The NCAA Division 1 baseball tournament has four stages, the last of which is the Men's College World Series Finals. It also combines double-elimination tournaments in both the Regionals and the College World Series, with a best-of-three series in both the Super Regionals, and the College World Series Finals.

It all begins with the Regionals, or the first round of the tournament, and that stage gets underway this week.

This portion of the tournament sees the 64 teams split into 16 four-team brackets. Each four-team bracket sees the teams seeded #1 through #4, and they participate in a double-elimination tournament, culminating in a winner for each bracket. Those tournaments are hosted by the top seed in each bracket, one of the 16 teams selected as a national top seed.

Those 16 teams advance to the Super Regionals, where they are split into eight pairings. These pairings then play a best-of-three series, leaving just eight teams standing.

The third stage is the Men's College World Series, where the eight winners of the Super Regionals descend upon Omaha, Nebraska. The eight teams are split into two double-elimination brackets, consisting of four teams each.

The winners of the two brackets then meet in the Men's College World Series Finals, where they play a best-of-three series to determine the NCAA Champion.

*Stetson's spot is a matter of some controversy. Florida Gulf Coast led Stetson 6-5 in the seventh inning in an Atlantic Sun Tournament game on Sunday, when a six-hour rain delay began. Conference officials eventually called the game and declared Florida Gulf Coast the winners, and the two teams co-conference champions.

However, Stetson received the automatic bid. As outlined in ASUN commissioner Jeff Bacon in a statement, the decision came down to conference "policy:"

"Despite tremendous efforts, we were unable to complete the 2025 Atlantic Sun Conference Baseball Tournament due to inclement weather," Bacon said in a statement. "Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) has been declared the winner of today's first championship game and, with FGCU and Stetson University (Stetson) having a 1-1 record versus each other, both FGCU and Stetson will be recognized as 2025 ASUN co-tournament champions.

"Per ASUN policy, Stetson University will be awarded our 2025 automatic qualifier. Congratulations to both teams for an outstanding season, and best wishes to the Hatters as they continue on."

Stetson was the top seed in the ASUN tournament, with a 24-6 regular season record compared with the 16-14 mark of Florida Gulf Coast. Stetson had also already defeated the Eagles 5-4 in the double-elimination tournament, and entered Sunday's game with an unblemished 3-0 mark in the ASUN tournament.
