The College World Series is back. Omaha will be booming from this weekend onward, as eight clubs will vie for the honor of being NCAA Baseball Champions for the 2021 campaign. The Southeastern Conference has a few representatives who could be dogpiling by tournament’s end, and this should prove to be an eventful few weeks out in Nebraska.
Three SEC squads are among the final eight participants in the tournament. Mississippi State, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt are that triad, and all three stand as good a chance as any of winning it all. All three got through Regionals and Super Regionals action on their own turf. Vanderbilt took ECU down with relative ease, and Tennessee did the same to fellow SEC rep, LSU. State was pushed to the brink but eventually uprooted Notre Dame in a deciding Game 3.
Let’s take a look at everything you need to know going forward:
