The 2023 Men’s College World Series is set to get underway
The field is down to eight, and the 2023 Men’s College World Series is set to get underway on Friday from Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. The Regionals and Super Regionals are in the books, and 5 of the top 16 teams — No. 1 Wake Forest, No. 2 Florida, No. 5 LSU, No. 7 Virginia, No. 8 Stanford — advanced to Omaha.
They’ll meet up with the three teams ranked outside the top 16 who advanced, TCU, Oral Roberts, and Tennessee. Oral Roberts advanced out of the Eugene Super Regional, dropping the first game to Oregon but winning the next two to punch their ticket. TCU came out of the Fort Worth Super Regional, winning their first two games against No. 14 Indiana State to advance.
As for Tennessee, they came out of the Hattiesburg Super Regional, and after losing their first game to Southern Miss. they came back to win the next two.
The field is now split into two brackets, with TCU, Oral Roberts, Florida and Virginia in Bracket 1, and Wake Forest, LSU, Stanford, and Tennessee in Bracket 2. Both sides will square off, double-elimination style, with one winner from each side advancing to the best-of-three College World Series finals.
