The College World Series begins Friday, with eight teams competing to decide who will earn the right to play for the championship.

One of the eight teams in the 2025 College World Series is just days away from rising to the top as this year's national champion.

The Razorbacks, on paper at least, are the most complete squad here with the most home runs (124) as well as the nation’s best strikeout-to-walk ratio.

The second day of the 2025 College World Series saw the four teams in Bracket Two take their first step towards advancing to the championship series. This comes after Coastal Carolina and Oregon State took a major step forward on opening day while Arizona and Louisville were sent to the brink of elimination.

Eight teams remain in the chase for a college baseball national title.
