Baseball: Super Regional Participants and Their College World Series History

All 16 teams are eyeing a chance to play in the CWS. Many programs have been there, done that, while others will have a chance to make its first World Series appearance.

Wake Forest, Alabama, Stanford, Texas, LSU, Kentucky, Tennessee, Southern Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, Duke, Oregon, Oral Roberts, TCU and Indiana State all won their respective regional to advance to the Super Regionals, making each team one step closer to moving along to the College World Series. 

Earning the chance to play in the CWS is every single team's goal at the beginning of the season, but it is one of the most difficult feats in college sports. There are over 300 Division I baseball programs in the country and only eight make the College World Series. Some schools have done it many times, while others have never done it at all. Here is a look at each Super Regional team and its CWS history. 

Texas Longhorns 

No team in the entire country has more CWS appearances than the Texas Longhorns with 38. This year's team heads into Super Regionals with a 41-20 record. After going 0-2 in the Big 12 tournament, the Longhorns swept the Coral Gables Regional, beating Louisiana once and Miami twice.  Texas will play Stanford in the Super Regional.

TCU Horned Frogs 

There is an argument to be made that no team in the country is playing as well as the Horned Frogs are playing right now. Not only did they walk into No. 3 overall seeded Arkansas' stadium and win the Fayetteville Regional, but they dominated. TCU went  3-0, beating the Razorbacks twice by a combined score of 32-9. Due to Indiana Special Olympics being held this weekend in Terre Haute, the Frogs gets to host the Super Regional against Indiana State. Please consider donating to Indiana Special Olympics here.

Wake Forest has been this season's most impressive team without doubt. The Demon Deacons are the country's No. 1 seed and will play Alabama in the Super Regionals. Unfortunately for Alabama, Wake Forest is 29-3 at home this year; the Deacons will be tough to beat. The program has only appeared in the CWS twice but have made both appearances count.

Kentucky Wildcats 

Kentucky is the only school in the Super Regionals that has never made in appearance in the College World series, after escaping its own Regional in seven games, it will have a great chance to do so again SEC-rival LSU. The Wildcats fell 2-1 in their season series against LSU, but will have a chance to get revenge and make history this weekend.
