Top 20 schools with the most College World Series appearances

With the College World Series set to get underway, here’s a look at the 20 schools with the most appearances all-time. Where do the Sooners 11 appearances rank?

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 and head to Omaha in the same boat. But with their performance on the field, they’ve shown that they’re a team to be reckoned with in the College World Series and have just 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 three teams in the history of college baseball to make more than 10 appearances but hold a losing record in the CWS. The other two are Florida and Mississippi State. 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 20 teams with the most College World Series appearances all-time.

Oklahoma’s series with Wichita State canceled due to inclement weather

Oklahoma’s season-opening series with Wichita State in Round Rock, Texas has been canceled due to inclement weather.

It has been a week full of postponements and cancellations due to the severe winter weather slamming the region right now. Oklahoma basketball had their game against Texas postponed twice before being pushed a third time to a later date. Sooners baseball is now going down a similar path.

After already having their home series against Southern canceled and replaced by a set with Wichita State in Round Rock, Texas, the games with the Shockers have now been called off as well leaving the team currently without an opponent for opening weekend.

Oklahoma and Wichita State were going to play a three-game, two-day set down south beginning on Saturday. Now, it is an open space on the slate in the middle of the week with not much time to set up something new.

However, the Sooners do plan to look for a new opponent for the weekend if they can. Sooners Wire will provide updates on if the team can find a team to take on for the weekend when they become available. As it currently stands, Oklahoma will have opening weekend off, but we will see if it stays that way.

Oklahoma baseball schedules series this weekend due to weather

Oklahoma baseball is going to do battle with Wichita State in Round Rock, Texas this weekend in lieu of a home series with Southern.

Oklahoma baseball’s season opener got a makeover on Monday with their home series against Southern being canceled in lieu of a neutral site matchup with Wichita State at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas. The change was made due to the severe winter weather taking place throughout the state of Oklahoma this week and the forecasted weather throughout the region in the coming days.

The change is unfortunate for fans hoping to see the Sooners in Norman this weekend, but does provide a very exciting non-conference matchup in its place with the Shockers. The series will be a three-game set, taking place over the course of two days on Saturday, Feb. 21 and Sunday, Feb. 22.

It will be a double-header on Saturday with the first game being a seven-inning contest set to get underway at noon CT. The second game will be a full nine innings and start shortly after the first game ends. The series finale will be Sunday at 1:00 p.m. CT.

Every game of the series will be radio broadcast on Sportstalk 1400 AM/99.3 FM in Norman, which is also available anywhere in the country on the Tune In Radio App. With this change, Oklahoma’s home opener will now not be until Tuesday, Mar. 9 against UT-Arlington.
