Most College World Series Champions

Each June, the best of the best in college baseball descend on Omaha, Neb., for the city’s signature event: The College World Series, where the NCAA’s Division I national champion is crowned.

While the CWS debuted in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 1947, it moved to Omaha in 1950 and has been there ever since. The playoff series drew a total of 17,805 fans that first year. With ESPN adopting the event in 1980 and providing extensive coverage, interest has grown steadily, with attendance in 2007 topping 300,000.

Which schools have won the most CWS tiles over the years? One has ruled the most rings, but others have enjoyed June in Nebraska as well, including 2008 winner Fresno State, which won its first title with an unlikely run that ended in a memorable upset of Georgia.

Here’s the list:

Southern California — 12 (1948, ‘58, ‘61, ‘63, ‘68, ‘70, ‘71, ‘72, ‘73, ‘74, ‘78, ‘98)

Texas — 6 (1949, ‘50, ‘75, ‘83, 2002, ‘05)

Arizona State — 5 (1965, ‘67, ‘69, ‘77, ‘81)

LSU — 5 (1991, 93, ‘96, ‘97, 2000)
