The 2024 College World Series is over, with the Tennessee Volunteers winning their first College World Series championship. However, that won't make them crack the top five SEC programs. There has been a lot of winning in college baseball in the Southeastern Conference as they continue to dominate the top of the sport.
Let's take a closer look at the top programs in the SEC and how many College World Series championships they have accumulated over the years.
Five SEC programs with the most College World Series wins
#1 Oklahoma Sooners
The Sooners are fifth on the College World Series all-time list for the conference with a pair of national championships.
The school has not done it recently, as their two championships were in 1951 and 1994. However, they are undefeated in the championship series, as those were the only times the school made the finals.
#2 South Carolina Gamecocks
The South Carolina Gamecocks have also won two College World Series Championships. However, they are a bit more unique, as they are the only school on this list to have their only national championships in back-to-back years.
The Gamecocks won it all in 2010 and 2011, including their first title coming via an 11th-inning walk-off single by current Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner over the UCLA Bruins.
#3 Vanderbilt Commodores
The Vanderbilt Commodores are one of the newer programs to join the list, as they have two College World Series wins, in 2014 and 2019.
Under coach Tim Corbin, they have been a contender and showcased their abilities, with the likes of Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker leading the pitching staff to dominance.
#4 Texas Longhorns
The Texas Longhorns aren't yet a part of the SEC, but they are going to be joining in a week, so it's only fitting to add them to the list.
They are six-time College World Series winners, with three head coaches winning a pair of CWS titles for the program. The Longhorns won their six College World Series Championships in 1949, 1950, 1975, 1983, 2002 and 2005.
With some incredible alumnus like Roger Clemens winning the championship in 1983, they will hope that the move to the SEC brings them more national championships.
#5 LSU Tigers
The LSU Tigers have been one of the premier college baseball programs in the nation.
They are second in the country with seven College World Series Championships, trailing just the USC Trojans. A lot of their championships came once coach Skip Bertman joined the program, as he won five national championships with the Tigers.
The program won in 1991, 1993, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2009 and 2023. Current coach Jay Johnson won the most recent CWS title in his second season with the program and continues to keep the Tigers in the hunt for more.
