This year's CWS will be a survival of the fittest - who has the best odds?

I’d ride with Texas and Stanford in that order. Omaha experience matters. And they have rosters that have it.
That's my thought as well. Texas was good enough to win last year. I give an ouside shot at Notre Dame, but they have suspect pitching to win more than 2 games a week.
I hate that Texas and Notre Dame are in the same bracket. They'd be 1/2 for me. On the other side I'd lean Arkansas, though I'm hopeful Stanford or Oregon State can scheme their way to the Finals (assuming they even get there).
My pick has been A&M for a while now. Already won a series from two other teams that will be in Omaha (Arkansas and Ole Miss). Won two a Vandy and swept our ***. Won a couple before getting bounced from the SECT, then have gone 5-0 through the regionals & supers.
I think it's wide open. ND looks like last year's NC State. I haven't been impressed with Stanford or Texas like I thought I would. OK looks like they're rolling. Just can't pick a favorite but the OM bracket looks easiest to me.
I am already prepared for OM to be in the Championship. I can only hope something like this happens.
Maybe they’ve been doing it all year, but Notre Dame really surprised me with the amount of pop that they have in their lineup. I’m sure that Texas will be the betting favorite, but I’m rolling with ND. They’re hitting their stride at just the right time
That RF was loafing. He should have caught that ball.
What was the 2B doing? He over ran that ball by a lot.
For the second year in a row (I know it was all about their OOC and COVID, etc., but I'm just saying they were easily a top team last year). They are definitely not your uncle's typical Cinderella team, they are old and on a mission.
I'm certainly rooting for them, along with whoever is playing Ole Miss, Arkansas and Texas A&M.
Agreed. But, I couldn't stomach to watch that very often before, bc that would just crush me if that was State.
Now that we've won one, I can now laugh at this and Arky without fear of karma.
The curse of putting up "OmaTEAM-NAME" at your home stadium, or anything "Omaha" and your team's name or brand... the baseball gods do not like when you do such things. Anything from the ancient mysterious Omaha tribe given is a gift and the ghosts can still take away at random, unforeseen moments. Don't disturb them and maybe, just maybe, you can survive without injury.
Point in case, we had to offer up 2 UCL's at Tulane as payment for our 2021 CWS championship and suffer all 2022 long. I still don't know what we did wrong other than saying our players would be "living legends" or things of that nature. Maybe it was the parade that cursed us.
(All that being said, I can't imagine being one of those 3 players, that could haunt them forever...)

I think Texas A&M is flying under the radar a little bit. After that I would say it's probably going to be Notre Dame or Texas. Those are the three teams I would not wanna meet in Omaha with the Oregon State/Auburn winner just behind
This. I'm telling y'all. The Natives won't let us have anything. OM will breeze through this thing. Watch and see.
I will be taking an emotional hedge bet on ole miss to win the thing. If they lose, I’m just doing my part. If they win, at least I’ll be getting something out of it.
But I a actually think Arkansas wins it all. For whatever reason, you hardly ever win the thing when it’s your best team. And this is not Arkansas’ best team but they are hot

Clearly, Texas A&M has the easiest route to the finals, since they are the only SEC West team on their side of the bracket.
On the other side, Stanford will get put out quickly. Likely, Arkansas and Auburn will duke it out, with Arkansas winning.
Arkansas wins the title in 3 over A&M.
