LSU baseball will meet a familiar opponent in its first College World Series game. Here's what Jay Johnson had to say about meeting Arkansas again.

Why are Arkansas and LSU, the top two seeds remaining in NCAA baseball tournament, playing in College World Series? Explaining CWS bracket, format.

UCLA is 47-16 on the year and ranks No. 11 nationally in the Massey Ratings. Playing in the Big Ten, the Bruins didn't face the same caliber of schedule as some other teams in Omaha did. Their NCAA Tournament path has been on the easier side too, facing UTSA in the super regional.

Only the SEC has multiple teams in Omaha (Arkansas and LSU). Five other conferences — the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Sun Belt and Missouri Valley — have representation in the field, and the last spot belongs to a perennial powerhouse in Oregon State, which competed as an independent this season following the disbandment of the Pac-12.
