The Oklahoma Sooners are set to embark on another quest in their journey to become the 2022 national champions. Opening the College World Series against Texas A&M, the Sooners look to continue the level of play that carried them to a Big 12 tournament title and to series wins on the road in Gainesville and Blacksburg.
The Sooners haven’t had the easy path, but they’ve made a habit of rising to the challenge of being the underdog. With their performance on the field, they’ve shown they’re a team to be reckoned with in the College World Series and have as good a shot as anyone in the field.
The Sooners haven’t been to the College World Series since 2010. They’re one of seven teams in the history of college baseball to make more than 10 appearances but hold a losing record in the CWS. The Sooners have a chance to get to .500 record with a win against Texas A&M on Friday and remove themselves from that distinction.
The Texas Longhorns are No. 1 all-time with 38 appearances and have the most CWS wins in the history of the sport with 88. Texas also holds the dubious distinction for most losses in the College World Series with 63.
Among schools with at least 10 appearances, the USC Trojans hold the best winning percentage at .740 and the most CWS titles.
As the College World Series gets underway on Friday, here are the 31 teams with the most College World Series appearances all-time.
Note: The initial list published only included teams that had won a College World Series title. It’s been updated to reflect the 31 schools with the most appearances all-time.
