The city of Omaha will become the center of the baseball world on Friday. No, there won’t be major league games being played—it’s time for the Men’s College World Series to begin at its annual home.
This year’s eight-team field is unique. All eight of the teams advancing to the championship round of the bracket are from either the Southeastern Conference (SEC) or the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The teams will play in a double-elimination series of games, with the first rounds coming Friday and Saturday of this week.
