[edit] Notes on tournament field
- Oregon State was not invited to the NCAA tournament, marking the first time since 1991 that the defending champion did not return to the following year's tourney (Georgia).
- Dallas Baptist is making its first appearance. It is the first independent institution to qualify for the Division I tourney (other than Miami FL, which kept an independent schedule during its years in the Big East) since Cal State Northridge did so in 1992.
- Michigan was the only non-#1-seed selected to host a regional, forcing #1 seed Arizona to play an away regional, as the NCAA organizing committee said it was trying to maintain geographical balance with the host sites. [1]
[edit] Round 1
- Four #1 seed regional host schools, out of 16 total, lost round 1 games to lower seeded teams:
- Georgia 7, Lipscomb 10
- Stanford 2, UC Davis 4
- Florida St. 0, Bucknell 7
- Long Beach St. 3, Fresno State 7
[edit] Round 2
- Fresno State was the only #4 seed to register wins in the first two rounds of the tournament.
- Tulane was the only #3 seed to register wins in the first two rounds of the tournament.
- 9 of the 16 #1 seeds registered wins in the first two rounds of the tournament.
[edit] Super Regionals
- Six of the eight national seeds advanced to the College World Series. Only #3 seed Arizona State and #5 seed Cal State Fullerton were unable to make it past Super Regionals.
- Fresno State became the first team in the history of the NCAA Tournament to make it to the College World Series as a #4 regional seed.
[edit] College World Series
[edit] Television/radio/online coverage
- All games can be tracked live online through CBS College Sports Network application Gametracker [2]

- The Baton Rouge regional was shown regionally on Cox Sports Television, the Athens regional on Comcast Sports Southeast/Charter Sports Southeast, and the final two days of the Tallahassee regional aired on Sun Sports.
[edit] Super Regionals
- All super-regional games will be shown on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU on television and ESPN360.com through online streaming video.
[edit] College World Series
