The complete tournament bracket

The 64-team field for the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament was revealed on Monday morning, with No. 1 overall seed UCLA leading the way.

UCLA will open up play on Friday against Maryland-Baltimore County, with the winner of that game advancing to take on either Michigan or BYU.

The complete tournament bracket can be found here, but some of the other notable matchups include:

No. 2 seed Florida taking on Florida Atlantic in the Gainesville Regional The Gators are looking to make a deep run in the postseason after falling just short of a national title last year, and they’ll have a good opportunity to do so as they’ve been given a relatively favorable draw.

No. 3 seed Texas A&M playing host to Davidson in the College Station Regional The Aggies are one of the top teams in the country and should have no trouble advancing to the NCAA Super Regionals but they’ll need to be careful not to take Davidson lightly as the Wildcats could pull off an upset if A&M is not careful.

No. 4 seed Louisville hosting Wright State in the Louisville Regional. The Cardinals are another team that is capable of making a deep run in this year’s tournament, but they’ll need to get past a dangerous Wright State squad first.

The complete tournament schedule can be found here, with games getting underway on Friday, May 31st.

A look at the top 4 seeds in the tournament

The field for the NCAA Baseball Tournament is set and there are some clear favorites. The top 4 seeds in the tournament are:

1. Vanderbilt
2. UCLA
3. Florida State
4. LSU

These 4 teams are all ranked in the top 10 in the nation and have a real chance to win it all. Vanderbilt is the overall number 1 seed and has been the best team in the country all season long UCLA is the number 2 seed and has been one of the hottest teams in the country down the stretch. Florida State is always a tough out in the postseason and LSU has as much talent as any team in the country.

It should be a great tournament and these 4 teams will be ones to watch.

A look at the bottom 4 seeds in the tournament

In the NCAA Baseball Tournament there are always a few teams that stand out as being maybe not quite as strong as the others. This year, those teams are the bottom four seeds in the tournament. Here’s a look at each of them:

16. Florida Gulf Coast – The Eagles were one of the last teams to make the tournament, but they’re not to be underestimated. They finished second in their conference and have a solid lineup.

17. Stony Brook – The Seawolves are another team that finished near the top of their conference. They don’t have any big names on their roster, but they’re a solid team overall.

18. Sam Houston State – The Bearkats struggled down the stretch, but they have a lot of talent on their roster. They’re definitely a team that could make some noise in the tournament.

19. Bryant – The Bulldogs are one of the weakest teams in the tournament, but they did win their conference tournament They’ll be an underdog in every game they play, but they could pull off an upset or two.

A look at some of the top first-round matchups

The field for the NCAA Baseball Tournament is set and there are some great first-round matchups to keep an eye on. Here’s a look at some of them:

1. Indiana vs. Louisville: Two of the top teams in the country go head-to-head in what should be a great game

2. Vanderbilt vs. Clemson: Another matchup of two of the nation’s best, this one should be a pitcher’s duel.

3. UCLA vs. Maryland: These two teams met earlier this season with UCLA coming out on top. Can they do it again?

4. Florida State vs. Florida: The two biggest rivals in college baseball will meet in the tournament for the first time ever. This should be a great one to watch.

A look at some of the top second-round matchups

The NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament is down to 16 teams, and the field is set for the second round. Here are some of the top matchups to watch:

-Vanderbilt vs. Stetson: This will be a rematch of last year’s contest, which Vanderbilt won handily. However, Stetson has been one of the hottest teams in the country this year and should give the Commodores a run for their money.

-Arkansas vs. Missouri State The Razorbacks are one of the favorites to make it to Omaha, but they will have their hands full with Missouri State The Bears have been excellent on the road this year and have a talented pitching staff that could give Arkansas fits.

--Oregon State vs. Oklahoma State The Beavers are another team that is expected to make a deep run in the tournament, but they will have their work cut out for them against Oklahoma State The Cowboys have a dangerous lineup that can score runs in bunches, so Oregon State will need to be on its game to advance.

-UCLA vs. Loyola Marymount This could be an exciting matchup between two teams that can really swing the bat. UCLA has some big boppers in its lineup, but Loyola Marymount has been putting up big numbers all season long. This one should be a lot of fun to watch.

A look at some of the top third-round matchups

The NCAA Baseball Tournament’s field of 64 has been set, and there are some intriguing third-round matchups on tap.

In the Nashville regional, top-seeded Vanderbilt will take on third-seeded Indiana State The Commodores are one of the favorites to win the national title, but they’ll have their hands full with the Sycamores, who went 2-1 against No. 2 seed Louisville in the regular season

The other Nashville regional matchup will pit second-seeded Oregon against third-seeded UConn. The Huskies are coming off a dramatic win over top-seeded Florida State in which they rallied from a 9-1 deficit to win 10-9 in 12 innings.

In the Baton Rouge regional, top-seeded LSU will face third-seeded Stony Brook The Seawolves upset second-seeded Miami in the second round, and they’ll be looking to pull off another upset against the Tigers.

The other Baton Rouge regional matchup will feature second-seeded Arizona State taking on third-seeded UL Lafayette. The Ragin’ Cajuns knocked off top-seeded TCU in the second round, so they’ll have confidence heading into their matchup with the Sun Devils

The Charlottesville regional will feature a showdown between top-seeded Virginia and third-seeded East Carolina The Pirates upset second-seeded South Carolina in the second round, and they’ll be looking to keep their Cinderella run going against the Cavaliers.

The other Charlottesville regional matchup will be between second-seeded Maryland and third-seeded Old Dominion. The Terrapins defeated ODU 5-2 back in March, but the Monarchs will be out for revenge in this one.

A look at some of the top fourth-round matchups

As the NCAA Baseball Tournament heads into the fourth round, there are some tantalizing matchups on tap. Here’s a look at some of the top games to watch:

1. Florida State vs. LSU: This is a rematch of last year’s College World Series final, which LSU won in Extra Innings Florida State has been on fire lately, winning 14 of its last 15 games. Meanwhile, LSU has been one of the most consistent teams in the country all season long. This should be a great game between two of the best teams in the country.

2. UCLA vs. TCU: These two teams met earlier this season, with UCLA coming out on top 6-4. UCLA is one of the hottest teams in the country right now, having won 11 straight games. They’ll face a tough test in TCU, who will be looking to avenge their earlier loss to the Bruins.

3. Virginia vs. South Carolina These two teams met earlier this season, with Virginia coming out on top 7-3. Both teams re Playing well right now, so this should be a great game between two of the best teams in the country.

4. Kentucky vs Louisville: This is always one of the best rivalries in college baseball and this year’s matchup should be no different. Both teams are playing well right now and Kentucky will be looking to defend their home field against their in-state rivals.
