Path to Championship Difficulty
Oklahoma's path to the championship is the hardest path since college baseball went to this tournament format. They played 11 games against national seeds.
OU finished 11th in the SEC (14-16), went 0-1 in Hoover, and trailed No. 2 Ga Tech 8-2 on the brink of elimination. Since:
⚾ Outscored GT 21-7, winning twice
⚾ Swept Big 12 champ KU 21-3
⚾ Beat only top-8 seeds in Omaha
⚾ Won 10 of final 11
A truly remarkable title run! 👏
THE OKLAHOMA SOONERS ARE THE 2026 #MCWS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 🏆☝️⚾️✨
@OU_Baseball wins its third title, the first since 1994, defeating (5) North Carolina, 13-2, in the winner-take-all game of the Championship Finals.
2013 UCLA played the top three TSR teams from 2013 to win their national championship, all top 25 all time:
UNC (4th all time)
LSU (10th all time)
Fullerton (23rd all time)
If Oklahoma wins the championship series in 3, it would overtake UCLA for the hardest championship path.
