2024 College World Series Betting Online

College Baseball doesn’t always get the national spotlight like football and basketball, but the College World Series brings just as much excitement as the College Football Playoff and March Madness. With the game becoming more and more popular over the years and betting markets increasing, the game is at an all-time high in terms of recognition. In a surprise development only two athletic conferences will be represented in Omaha. If you’re a fan of the Southeastern Conference or the Atlantic Coast Conference this tournament is right up your driveway. Both league’s will be represented by four teams with Texas AM, Tennessee and Kentucky of the SEC listed as the top three favorites on the opening odds.

The college baseball season concludes with the College World Series, an eight team tournament held in Omaha, Nebraska in June to determine the season’s national champion. It is the culmination of a College Baseball Tournament that narrows a field of 64 teams down to eight. The eight teams in Omaha for the CWS play in two brackets of four teams each in a double-elimination format. The two winners then meet in a best-of-three series to determine college baseball’s national champion. The 2024 College World Series will take place from June 14-24 at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha and will be televised by ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPNU.

College World Series Format

There have been many changes to the CWS format since it was first played in 1947. Back then the entire tournament baseball tournament consisted of just eight teams The NCAA expanded the tournament to its current 64-team format in 1999 with the number of regionals doubling to 16. Each of those 16 regional tournaments consist of four teams seeded No. 1 through No. 4 in a double elimination format.

The expansion of the field also brought about the Super Regional format. The 16 regional tournament winners are paired off at school sites in a best-of-three format. The eight Super Regional winners then advance to the College World Series in Omaha. The current format of a best-of-three series in the College World Series final was set in 2003.

NCAA Baseball Tournament Champions (2000)

Most National Championships

The best run of dominance in the history of the College World Series clearly belongs to USC. The Trojans won five straight championships from 1970 to 1974, and it's unlikely that feat will ever be duplicated. However, going back-to-back isn't anything unusual. South Carolina was the last to do it in 2010 and 2011, while Oregon State did it in 2006 and 2007, beating North Carolina both times.

Vanderbilt and Virginia played against each other in the National Championship Series in consecutive years in 2014 and 2015. Both series went the maximum three games. Vandy took the first, while the Hoos exacted revenge the next season.

In 2023 LSU won its seventh national championship breaking a tie for second-most with Texas. It was also their third title this century matching Oregon State for the most since the 2000 season.

Most College World Series Appearances

A total of 18 teams have been to the College World Series 10 times or more, but everyone is chasing Texas. The Longhorns have reached Omaha a stunning 38 times, 13 more than anyone else, including an appearance in 2022. It's going to be a while before anyone runs down the Longhorns from that perspective, though it should be noted that the team only has six National Championships in that run. Southern California, in contrast, has 12 national titles.

Oklahoma State holds the record for consecutive appearances in the College World Series with seven from 1981 through 1987. Several teams have come close, but only the Pokes can say they've gone through two legitimate generations of college baseball players, making the College World Series each year. That said, Oklahoma State didn't win one National Championship in that stretch. Stanford reached the CWS for a third consecutive season in 2023.

Florida State holds the record for the most appearances in the College World Series without a National Championship at 24. Clemson is the next closest team with 12, so it's clear that there hasn't been a team quite as snake-bitten as the Seminoles.
