Thank you

For the NCAA tournament conference tourney champs get the auto bid, then there are also quite a few at-large bids like basketball. The format for the baseball big dance is a little different than basketball because of double elimination and it usually features more regional matchups to start things off. Of course when Akron won the MAC in 1996 they had to go to Lubbock, Texas to face the top ranked team in the nation in the USC Trojans in a game the Zips lost by a score of 20-10 then the Zips lost to regional host Texas Tech in the loser's bracket elimination game. It was extremely odd that Akron had to play the #1 team in the country and then also the host team in their only two games as usually the top seed in each region is also the host. As far as making the College World Series, to get to Omaha you have to be the survivor of your four team regional followed by being the winner of your best 2-of-3 format super-regional.
