The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) has done extremely well in the Regional Round of the NCAA Baseball Tournament as they have five programs that advanced to the Super Regionals. With almost 33 percent of the field being conference foes, that could lead to some incredible matchups. However, none of them are facing off against one another in the Super Regional Round so in theory, there could be five ACC schools in the College World Series.
Let's take a look at each conference member who has been preparing for the best-of-three Super Regionals and competing for a spot in the 2024 College World Series.
