The Road to Omaha begins, and we have you covered with everything you need to know for the 2018 NCAA Baseball Tournament.

The 2018 NCAA Baseball Tournament and Road to Omaha begins with the NCAA Regional portion of the tournament — which kicks off June 1!

Over the years, the NCAA Baseball Tournament is one full of excitement. History. Pageantry.

The SEC regular-season champion Flordia Gators look to defend their illustrious title, after winning their first NCAA Baseball Tournament/College World Series title in program history. The odds of a squad from the mighty SEC have the best odds, with 10 teams making the NCAA Baseball Tournament — with the ACC a distant second with six teams invited.
