With three traditional rivals remaining in the tournament, there are plenty of intriguing matchups the Texas Longhorns could draw in Omaha.
Texas’ first opponent is Notre Dame, one of the premier blue blood rivals for the Longhorns in football. With a win, Texas would face the winner of Texas A&M and Oklahoma. A loss would pair the Longhorns with the loser of that game.
On the other side of the bracket, Arkansas and Stanford face off. The two programs are among the best in college baseball in recent years.
The final matchup features Ole Miss and Auburn, two SEC West foes. Ole Miss won two out of three on the road against Auburn earlier this year.
Here are four matchups Texas fans won’t have any trouble getting excited about in this College World Series.
