College World Series Schedule: Complete Saturday slate as LSU takes the field
LSU baseball begins play in Omaha for the 2025 College World Series on Saturday. Inside Charles Schwab Stadium, the Tigers face a familiar opponent from their SEC schedule. LSU and Arkansas, the betting favorites to win the national championship, close out the first round of games on Saturday following two on Friday. UCLA and Murray State open the second day with an afternoon first pitch. The winners and losers of those matchups will face off early next week. Advertisement The Tigers took the regular season series against Arkansas at Alex Box Stadium in late May but the Razorbacks are loaded with MLB talent. The game will certainly resemble a championship atmosphere with fans of both teams expected in droves. The Bruins made it to the Big Ten championship and have yet to lose a game in the NCAA Tournament. They play the Cinderella team in Murray State. After winning the Missouri Valley Conference, the Racers went 3-1 in the Oxford Regional then defeated Duke twice in the super regional. Here is the Saturday schedule for the College World Series. Game Three: UCLA vs Murray State Time: 1 p.m. CT TV Channel: ESPN Game Four: Arkansas vs LSU Time: 6 p.m. CT TV Channel: ESPN This article originally appeared on LSU Wire: College World Series Schedule Today: When does LSU play?

Five takeaways from LSU baseball's super regional win vs. West Virginia
LSU baseball is headed to Omaha. After sweeping West Virginia in the Baton Rouge Super Regional, LSU punched a ticket to the College World Series. The Tigers erupted for 16 runs in Game 1 before plating 12 more in Game 2. It was just what we wanted to see from the LSU offense after the Tigers' bats were inconsistent at points this spring. Advertisement Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson didn't pitch at the elite level they did in the regional, but both were good enough to get the wins. Anderson allowed six earned runs, but made it through seven innings in Game 1. Eyanson held WVU to three runs and struck out seven of the course of five innings in Game 2. Tigers' head coach Jay Johnson has now led LSU to Omaha in two of his four years in Baton Rouge. LSU's last CWS trip came in 2023, when the Tigers won it all with Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews. Before LSU continues its quest for another national title, here are five takeaways from LSU's Super Regional win. 1. LSU responded in the seventh inning LSU controlled the game early, scoring six runs in the first two innings. WVU began to stage a comeback. The Mountaineers scored three runs in the fourth and plated another in the fifth. Then, LSU had a response of its own. Advertisement LSU scored six runs in the seventh inning, putting the game out of reach. It started with a two-run single off the bat of Chris Stanfield. Not long after, Derek Curiel scored on a throwing error. Steven Milam kept the rally going with an RBI double. Jake Brown capped it off with a two-run shot to center field. West Virginia had the momentum entering the seventh, and the Mountaineers were a couple of swings away from tying it up. Good teams respond like LSU did in the seventh. 2. Anderson and Eyanson were good enough Good pitchers find a way to do enough even when they don't have their best stuff. Neither Kade Anderson nor Anthony Eyanson had their best, but they combined to pitch 12 innings and both got the win. Advertisement Anderson held WVU to one run through five innings, which allowed LSU to build a substantial lead. West Virginia put up some runs in the later innings, but Anderson hung in there and threw 109 pitches, keeping LSU's bullpen rested. On Sunday, Eyanson held WVU to three runs in five innings. Between the regional and the super regional, Eyanson allowed just three runs over 13.2 innings. LSU can't expect eight shutout innings from Anderson and Eyanson every night, but the Tigers proved they can win a different style of game vs. West Virginia. 3. Steven Milam was a star Steven Milam had ups and downs in the regular season, but he's been a star for LSU in the NCAA Tournament. He stayed hot vs. West Virginia. Advertisement On Saturday, Milam came to the plate with LSU up 3-1 and the bases loaded. Milam put one in the bleachers to give LSU a 7-1 lead. Milam walked twice and scored two runs. On Sunday, Milam had two more extra-base hits with four RBI. Again, he walked twice and scored twice. If Milam is going to hit like this, it changes the outlook for LSU's lineup. It gives the Tigers another all-around bat in the middle of the lineup. "He will play baseball for a very long time if he takes the caliber of at-bats that he has," Jay Johnson said of Milam last weekend. 4. Potential emergence of Cooper Williams Aside from Casan Evans, LSU's bullpen has struggled in recent weeks. Even Zac Cowan has faltered after being one of the nation's most effective relievers for most of the year. LSU needed another bullpen arm to emerge -- it might just be Cooper Williams. Advertisement Williams, a true freshman, was ranked as the No. 12 left-handed pitcher in the 2024 class by Perfect Game. He began his career without allowing an earned run in his first 12 appearances, but didn't see a ton of high leverage spots in the regular season. After LSU struggled to get outs last Sunday vs. Little Rock, Williams entered and pitched 3.2 scoreless innings. Then, a week later vs. West Virginia, Johnson called on Williams with the tying run at the plate. Williams delivered and gave LSU 2.2 innings, allowing just one run. That'll play. In 19.2 innings, Williams owns a 1.83 ERA this year. LSU will need a strong effort from the freshman in Omaha. 5. LSU looks like a complete team The Super Regional was LSU at its best. The Tigers have not played two straight complete games like vs. a quality opponent all year. Sure, the Tigers have found ways to win, but LSU was dominant in every phase of the game vs. the Mountaineers. Advertisement This team is good enough to go all the way in Omaha. We had questions about the lineup entering the weekend. Those were answered. We know guys like Derek Curiel and Daniel Dickinson are going to produce, but when Milam, Brown, and Josh Pearson are showing off the power too, it's hard to find outs vs. this group. And Tiger fans should feel better about the bullpen now, too. LSU finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the polls for a reason. When this squad plays to its potential, it's the best in the country. This article originally appeared on LSU Wire: LSU baseball sweeps West Virginia | 5 takeaways from super regional

Update 2025 record projections for Big Ten football teams, per ESPN FPI
Update 2025 record projections for Big Ten football teams, per ESPN FPI There are a lot of eyes on the Big Ten Conference going into the 2025 college football season, with the Ohio State Buckeyes looking to defend their national championship with the Oregon Ducks, Penn State Nittany Lions, and Indiana Hoosiers work to repeat as College Football Playoff teams. It will be a fun season in the conference, with a lot of new faces in new places and a handful of intriguing contenders trying to insert themselves into the top tier of teams alongside the Buckeyes, Ducks, Nittany Lions, and Hoosiers. While those teams have much of the attention at the top, there are also some intriguing storylines throughout the conference. Will UCLA be able to take a step forward with Nico Iamaleava Jr. at the helm? Will Mark Gronowski be able to overhaul Iowa's offense? Can Wisconsin get things going at long last this year under Luke Fickell? Will anyone step up and be this year's version of 2024 Indiana? All of those questions will be answered in months. Following the spring season, we took our stab at predicting the win-loss records for every Big Ten team, and with the release of ESPN's Football Power Index earlier this month, we have another set of data points to work with. Let's take a look at how ESPN predicts the season will shake out for the Big Ten teams: No. 18 — Purdue Boilermakers ESPN Record Projection: 3.2-8.8 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 2-10 (0-9 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Ball State, Southern Illinois Projected Losses: USC, Notre Dame, Illinois, Minnesota, Northwestern, Rutgers, Michigan, Ohio State, Washington, Indiana Despite bringing in Barry Odom as the new head coach, I don't think it will be a very successful year yet again for Purdue. They can pick up a couple of early non-conference wins, but I don't see a quick turnaround coming any time soon. No. 17 — Northwestern Wildcats ESPN Record Projection: 4.1-7.9 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 3-9 (1-8 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Western Illinois, Louisiana-Monroe, Purdue Projected Losses: Tulane, Oregon, UCLA, Penn State, Nebraska, USC, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois The Wildcats were a nice story a couple of years ago with David Braun as the interim coach, but they regressed back to the mean last season and will probably stay there in 2025 as well. A season-opener against Tulane could prove tough, and the Big Ten schedule doesn't set up very nicely with games against Oregon, Penn State, USC, and Illinois down the stretch. No. 16 — Michigan State Spartans ESPN Record Projection: 5.2-6.8 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 6-6 (3-6 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Western Michigan, Boston College, Youngstown State, UCLA, Iowa, Maryland Projected Losses: USC, Nebraska, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State In year two under Jonathan Smith, it's not hard to imagine that the Michigan State Spartans take a bit of a step forward. They have the talent to be, at the very least, solid in the Big Ten, assuming that quarterback Aiden Chiles continues to improve and can cut down on his turnover numbers. The schedule sets up pretty favorably as well, with no games against Oregon or Ohio State on the schedule. For more Michigan State news and analysis, check out Spartans Wire! No. 15 — UCLA Bruins ESPN Record Projection: 5.4-6.6 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 4-6 (2-7 Big Ten) Projected Wins: UNLV, New Mexico State, Northwestern, Maryland, Projected Losses: Utah, Penn State, Michigan State, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio State, Washington, USC How good will Nico Iamaleava Jr. be in his first year with the Bruins? The real question is how good will the Bruins be outside of Iamaleava to allow for overall team success? I see UCLA winning a few games, but as far as being a name to know in the Big Ten, I think we might need another year. For more UCLA news and analysis, check out UCLA Wire! No. 14 — Wisconsin Badgers ESPN Record Projection: 5.6-6.5 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 4-8 (2-7 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Miami (OH), Middle Tennessee, Maryland, Minnesota Projected Losses: Alabama, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State, Oregon, Washington, Indiana, Illinois If Luke Fickell is going to make his mark at Wisconsin, he needs to do it this year. While the Badgers draw tough games against Ohio State, Oregon, and Illinois, they could compete with the rest of the Big Ten teams on the docket. For more Wisconsin news and analysis, check out Badgers Wire! No. 13 — Rutgers Scarlet Knights ESPN Record Projection: 5.8-6.2 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 5-7 (2-7 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Ohio, Miami (OH), Norfolk State, Purdue, Rutgers Projected Losses: Iowa, Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Ohio State, Penn State Rutgers may be able to surprise a few people this year, with Kaliakmanis still under center, but I don't think they will be contending for a conference title any time soon. Unfortunately, the Scarlet Knights draw the big three in the conference, with Oregon, Ohio State, and Penn State all on the schedule. No. 12 — Maryland Terrapins ESPN Record Projection: 5.9-6.1 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 4-8 (1-8 Big Ten) Projected Wins: FAU, Northern Illinois, Towson, Rutgers Projected Losses: Wisconsin, Washington, Nebraska, UCLA, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State Will this be the year that a below-average season leads Mike Locksley to the exit? You'd have to think that would be the case after winning just 33 of his last 75 games for the Terrapins. There are a few easy non-conference games on the schedule, but I don't see any reason to believe that Maryland will make a leap in the Big Ten this year. At some point, it's time to cut ties. No. 11 — Iowa Hawkeyes ESPN Record Projection: 6.2-5.8 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 6-6 (4-5 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Albany, UMass, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska Projected Losses: Iowa State, Indiana, Penn State, Oregon, USC, Michigan State Much to the dismay of Hawkeyes fans, I foresee another ho-hum year for Iowa, where they struggle to contend with the top teams in the conference but can manage their way through the middle. Games against Penn State and Oregon will be tough, and an early non-conference clash with Iowa State won't be easy, but outside of that, the Hawkeyes should be able to win a few. For more Iowa news and analysis, check out Hawkeyes Wire! No. 10 — Illinois Fighting Illini ESPN Record Projection: 6.8-5.2 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 10-2 (7-2 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Western Illinois, Western Michigan, Indiana, USC, Purdue, Washington, Rutgers, Maryland, Wisconsin, Northwestern Projected Losses: Duke, Ohio State Many people are pegging Illinois to be this year's version of Indiana in the Big Ten this year, seeing as they return a lot of players, particularly on offense, and have a favorable schedule. Should the Illini get past Duke early in the season, it could be pretty smooth sailing until they face Ohio State at home midway through the year. This could certainly be a team that is hanging around near the top of the standings late in the year. No. 9 — Minnesota Golden Gophers ESPN Record Projection: 6.9-5.2 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 7-5 (4-5 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Buffalo, Northwestern State, Rutgers, Purdue, Michigan State, Northwestern, Wisconsin Projected Losses: Cal, Ohio State, Nebraska, Iowa, Oregon We know that PJ Fleck is a solid coach, and with the right pieces, he can make some noise in the conference. I'm not sure that we see Minnesota taking a big jump this year, considering they are a bit unproven at the QB position, but they can certainly compete with some other middle-of-the-road teams in the Big Ten. No. 8 — Washington Huskies ESPN Record Projection: 7.1-4.9 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 9-3 (6-3 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Colorado State, UC Davis, Washington State, Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue, UCLA Projected Losses: Ohio State, Illinois, Oregon Nobody likes to discredit Washington more than Oregon fans, but even I have to admit that they could be pretty good this year. With Demond Williams under center and Jedd Fisch calling things, the Huskies' schedule is set up pretty favorably. Games against Ohio State, Illinois, and Oregon will all be tough, but they are at home in Seattle for all of them. For more Washington news and analysis, check out Huskies Wire! No. 7 — Indiana Hoosiers ESPN Record Projection: 7.5-4.5 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 9-3 (6-3 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Old Dominion, Kennesaw State, Indiana State, Iowa, Michigan State, UCLA, Maryland, Wisconsin, Purdue Projected Losses: Illinois, Oregon, Penn State Indiana was the story of the Big Ten last year, thanks to some elite coaching from Curt Cignetti and great quarterback play from Kurtis Rourke. They were also beneficiaries of a favorable schedule. Will their success continue in 2025? It will depend on Cal transfer Fernando Mendoza, who has the talent necessary to get the Hoosiers back into contention for the Big Ten title. The Hoosiers do have to play both Oregon and Penn State on the road, though, which is tough. No. 6 — Nebraska Cornhuskers ESPN Record Projection: 7.5-4.5 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 9-3 (6-3 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Cincinnati, Akron, Houston Christian, Michigan, Michigan State, Maryland, Minnesota, Northwestern, UCLA Projected Losses: USC, Penn State, Iowa If Dylan Raiola is as good as we were led to believe that he is, then this is when we should start to see it. I think that Nebraska is talented enough to compete at a high level in the Big Ten, and their schedule sets up for it this year, with no Ohio State or Oregon on the docket. Games against USC, Penn State, and Iowa will act as big tests, but this team could surprise some people when all is said and done. For more Nebraska news and analysis, check out Cornhuskers Wire! No. 5 — USC Trojans ESPN Record Projection: 8.3-3.9 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 9-3 (7-2 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Missouri State, Georgia Southern, Purdue, Michigan State, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern, Iowa, UCLA Projected Losses: Illinois, Notre Dame, Oregon Assuming that Lincoln Riley can get some above-average quarterback play this year, USC could finally get out of the middle of the pack in the Big Ten and make a little bit of noise once November rolls around. They get to miss both Penn State and Ohio State on the schedule, but the yearly non-conference game against Notre Dame and a trip up to Eugene against the Ducks in November will be tough to handle. For more USC news and analysis, check out Trojans Wire! No. 4 — Michigan Wolverines ESPN Record Projection: 8.4-3.7 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 7-5 (5-4 Big Ten) Projected Wins: New Mexico State, Central Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Purdue, Northwestern, Maryland Projected Losses: Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC, Washington, Ohio State How good is Bryce Underwood going to be as a freshman? The answer to that question likely determines how good the Wolverines can be in 2025. They are talented on both sides of the ball, and if the true freshman QB can get over the learning curve quickly, they can play at the upper-middle tier of the conference. No games against Oregon or Penn State also help the projections. For more Michigan news and analysis, check out Wolverines Wire! No. 3 — Oregon Ducks ESPN Record Projection: 10.0-2.4 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 11-1 (8-1 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Montana State, Oklahoma State, Northwestern, Oregon State, Indiana, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, USC, Washington Projected Losses: Penn State There is one game on the schedule that could be really tough for the Ducks — at Penn State in Happy Valley — but other than that, this is a manageable schedule that could lead to a lot of wins. You don't have Ohio State or Michigan, and you get USC at home. While Oregon will have to head up to Seattle for the rivalry against Washington, they should be able to handle this slate just fine. For more Oregon news and analysis, check out Ducks Wire! No. 2 — Penn State Nittany Lions ESPN Record Projection: 10.2-2.2 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 11-1 (8-1 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Nevada, Florida International, Villanova, Oregon, UCLA, Northwestern, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan State, Nebraska, Rutgers Projected Losses: Ohio State Penn State is getting a lot of preseason respect, being ranked well inside the top five almost unanimously across the board, and being named the No. 1 team by ESPN. It makes sense, seeing as they return a lot of starters from last year's College Football Playoff team. As always, The question remains whether they can win the big games. Oregon and Ohio State come to Happy Valley in 2025. Can James Franklin get it done? I say he goes 1-1. For more Penn State news and analysis, check out Nittany Lions Wire! No. 1 — Ohio State Buckeyes ESPN Record Projection: 10.4-2.2 Ducks Wire Record Projection: 11-1 (9-0 Big Ten) Projected Wins: Grambling State, Ohio, Washington, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Penn State, Purdue, UCLA, Rutgers, Michigan Projected Losses: Texas It looks like Ohio State could be up for another impressive run in the Big Ten this year. I currently have them winning all of their conference games, meaning that they beat Penn State in Happy Valley, which will be a big test. The only game I see the Buckeyes losing comes in Week 1 against the Texas Longhorns. They certainly have the talent to win that game, but considering that it will be Julian Sayin's first career start, I went with a loss. For more Ohio State news and analysis, check out Buckeyes Wire!
