NCAA super regionals set after frenzy of upsets
June 3 - The SEC remains a dominant presence ahead of this week's NCAA super regionals despite the conference losing the top two teams in the country in shocking upsets last weekend. With No. 1 Vanderbilt and No. 2 Texas bounced in the regionals they hosted, No. 3 Arkansas, No. 4 Auburn and No. 6 LSU are now among the favorites as the road to Omaha continues with the eight super regionals beginning Friday. Arkansas will face defending national champion and No. 14 seed Tennessee. Vandy and Texas were certainly not alone in the frenzy of regional upsets. No. 7 Georgia and No. 10 Ole Miss were also sent packing. Murray St. eliminated Ole Miss to win the first regional in program history and become only the 10th No. 4 seed in Division I baseball history to advance to the super regionals. Following the upsets, only three of the eight super regional sites will pit ranked teams against each other, while two will feature unranked teams vying for a spot in the College World Series. Meanwhile, the ACC emerged from the regionals with five teams. That includes No. 5 North Carolina, which finished the regular season ranked No. 1, and former powerhouse Miami, which returns to the super regionals for the first time since 2016. Miami vs. Louisville No. 8 Oregon State vs. No. 9 Florida State No. 5 North Carolina vs. Arizona No. 4 Auburn vs. No. 13 Coastal Carolina No. 15 UCLA vs. UTSA Duke vs. Murray State No. 6 LSU vs. West Virginia No. 3 Arkansas vs. No. 14 Tennessee The three-game super regionals will run June 6-9 across the sites to determine the eight that will advance to the CWS, which begins June 13. The ESPN family of networks will broadcast the games across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, as well as on Fubo. --Field Level Media
