2. Texas (23 / 14 / 12 / 2)- 209
3. Oregon State (19 / 10 / 7 / 3)- 193

So what is the formula? How many points for each? Obviously only measuring success based on the NCAA tournament. I guess the regular season doesn’t matter at all.

Oklahoma just further proved as much.

Everyone likes these lists until you say the formula, and then the whiny Arkansas fans unload on the list once the formula is revealed.

Not sure how Ole Miss and MSU would have the same CWS score. Feels like MSU has been to Omaha way more than 3 times since '99.

That's just because they don't understand the formula.
Good list!
1. LSU
2. Texas

We have made Omaha three times since 1999.

They always drop the ball on the math.

I mean since 1999, Tennessee has done more in the postseason than Ole Miss.
Super Regionals
Tennessee: 7
Ole Miss: 9
Omaha
Tennessee: 5
Ole Miss: 3
Natties
Tennessee: 1
Ole Miss: 1
2 more CWS appearances should trump making the NCAA tournament more often, especially if you are ranking purely on NCAA tourney success and not just participation.

While I would love to have their level of success, it must be really rough to get that far THAT many times and still never win it.

They updated the rankings and Florida lost 100 points for having a home wrecking coach who ruins families. Their new score of 59 drops them below Georgia but above Auburn.

What is there to whine about. Looks about right to me with us not having a NC which I would assume is weighted the heaviest.

The regular season is only important in terms of getting into the playoffs and seeding rank. So in the latter, the regular season can make a big difference, certainly if you can get home field advantage.

5. S Carolina (20 / 14 / 6 / 2)- 164
2013 through present day has been a squandering of epic proportions from our 2-time CWS champion baseball coach turned Athletic Director - Rayberry SC 29203 -
fortunately our new AD has made it known baseball will no longer drift in the abyss - while Georgia & Texas were playing in Omaha on a Saturday night - Carolina introduced Kevin Schnall to fans at Founders Park in a different way than any of the previous 3 HCs were welcomed - things will be different -
