Eight teams are packing their bags for Omaha.
The field of 64 is whittling itself down to eight teams, all of whom will head to the College World Series to compete for a national championship on the biggest stage in college baseball.
Not in the field is reigning champion Tennessee, which advanced to super regionals but was swept by SEC rival Arkansas. The Volunteers were looking to become the first team in 14 years to win back-to-back titles, but a new champion will be crowned in Omaha instead.
Here's a complete look at the eight College World Series teams heading to Omaha.

Who is in the College World Series in 2025?
All eight College World Series bids are locked up. Here is a look at each team that locked up a bid to Omaha:
No. 3 Arkansas
The Razorbacks flexed their muscles in the super regionals, easily handling the reigning national champions behind 14 runs and strong pitching. Wehiwa Aloy, Cam Kozeal and Charles Davalan lead one of the most powerful offenses in the nation, while a late-season push from Gage Wood, who struggled for the bulk of the regular season, has helped stabilize the pitching staff. Seven years after heartbreak in what would have been the championship-clincher, the Razorbacks are aiming for their first title.
No. 6 LSU
After narrowly escaping an upset bid from Little Rock in the regional final, LSU swept West Virginia in the super regionals to reach its second College World Series in the last three years. Paul Skenes isn't around like he was two years ago, but the Tigers have a legitimate chance to win a championship behind aces Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson. The Tigers' offense is powered by Jared Jones' 20 home runs along with Derek Curiel's .347 AVG. While the lineup may not have the blue-chip MLB prospects it has in the past, it's been productive enough to make LSU a title favorite.
No. 8 Oregon State
Oregon State won a closely contested super regional battle with Florida State in three games to secure its first College World Series bid since its 2018 championship season. It's hard to find a much better offensive duo than Aiva Arquette and Gavin Turley, with Arquette a potential top-five pick in July's MLB Draft and Turley sitting on 19 home runs. The Beavers' athletics programs have been through plenty of adversity with conference realignment, but baseball is looking to remind fans it's still a powerhouse that can compete for national championships.
No. 13 Coastal Carolina
Coastal Carolina had a memorable run to the national championship in 2016, and the Chanticleers mean business again after sweeping favored Auburn in the super regionals. While power isn't a major part of Coastal's profile, catcher Caden Bodine is a potential first-round pick in July's MLB Draft. Pitching has carried the load for the Chanticleers; breakout starter Jacob Morrison has a 2.15 ERA through 96.1 innings, while Riley Eikhoff has issued only 10 walks in 80.2 innings.
No. 15 UCLA
UCLA quieted UTSA in the super regionals to punch its ticket to the College World Series for the first time since 2013, which was also the last (and only) time the Bruins won a national championship. This year, UCLA is led by infielder Roch Cholowsky, who is hitting .367 with 23 home runs and only 29 strikeouts. Whether the Bruins have the pitching to win a title is a question, but a dominant showing from the staff against UTSA is an indication the unit might be peaking at the right time.
Louisville
Louisville won a narrow Game 3 over Miami to punch its ticket to the College World Series for the first time since 2019. The Cardinals are looking for their first national championship, and they will do so behind a high-contact top of the lineup led by outfielder Eddie King Jr. and his OPS north of 1.200. The Cardinals also boast a potential first-round pick in ace Patrick Forbes, who has a 4.36 ERA but 107 strikeouts on the year.
Arizona
Arizona recovered from an 18-2 drubbing at the hands of North Carolina to win the final two games of their super regional series and reach the College World Series for the first time since 2021. The Wildcats are seeking their first title since 2012 and have a strong offensive trio of Mason White, Aaron Walton and projected first-round pick Brendan Summerhill. Pitching could be a wild card, if the 18-2 loss was any indication, but Arizona has a team it believes is capable of making a prolonged run in Omaha.
Murray State
Welcome to the field, Cinderella: Murray State became the fourth regional No. 4 seed to reach the College World Series with an extra-inning win over Duke in Game 3 of the super regionals, giving Omaha its eighth and final team. The Racers have had their success on the basketball court in the past, but they are looking to make themselves a baseball school with this run. With two major power bats in Jonathan Hogart and Carson Garner, Murray State can hit. Dom Decker and Dustin Mercer, meanwhile give the offense a pair of hitters batting north of .350, though they aren't a factor in the power department. The Racers have more uncertainty on the mound, but they survived it by piling on runs when they needed them against Ole Miss and Duke. Now, the no-quit offense is looking to take Omaha by storm.
