Road to the MCWS: College baseball tourney brackets and regionals schedule

The road to Omaha has officially begun with the 64-team field for the NCAA Division I baseball championship being revealed. Tennessee (50-11) is the No. 1 overall seed after dominating for the entire year and winning the SEC regular-season title and conference tournament. The rest of the top four includes two other SEC schools — Kentucky at No. 2, Texas A&M at No. 3 — and North Carolina at No. 4.

LSU will begin its defense of the national title on the road in the Chapel Hill Regional with its first game against Wofford. Elsewhere, the Bryan-College Station Regional should bring plenty of drama with the opportunity for Texas A&M to face in-state rival Texas. Also of note, Florida State is back in the tournament after missing it for the first time since 1977 last year.

The SEC and ACC are each hosting five regionals. The other host regional sites include two schools from the Big 12, two from the Pac-12 — Arizona was crowned the last Pac-12 champion and is hosting — and one each from the AAC and Big West.

Oklahoma is hosting for the first time since 2010, and UC Santa Barbara is hosting for its first time on campus as the only other time the school hosted was in 2015 at a neutral location.

We broke down each regional and provide you with schedule updates, scores and how to watch the NCAA tournament.
