The College World Series is down to the final 16 teams with odds available on the super regionals at the sports book.

The odds at the Internet sports book ought to be aggressive as eight teams, most of them still being the top seeds, try and advance to the College World Series.

Thirteen of the sixteen top seeds made it to the super regionals. In fact, there have been no shocks as every one of the seeds leftover are either number one or number twos. The super regionals are a best-of-3 at the higher seeded team's home field. Arizona State is among the favorites to win the championship. They will host Arkansas in one of the eight super regional matchups. Arizona State was 34-3 at home this year so Arkansas is probably in trouble, specifically if Zack Cox is not healthy.

Texas hosts TCU in another of the regions and this competition ought to be great. TCU has superb starting pitching plus they were 24-7 on the road this year. Texas also has great pitching plus they can hit home runs as they set a school-record with 79 this year. Since Miami needed to use top pitcher Chris Hernandez on Tuesday, Florida likely will do well when they host Miami. They also don't have Eric Erickson at full strength. Florida was 31-3 at home this year.

Coastal Carolina will probably be trying to make their 1st trip to the College World Series. They will host South Carolina at the regional. This will likely be an interesting competition to see if Coastal Carolina will take a step up in class. South Carolina has a healthy offense that may give Coastal Carolina trouble.

Virginia hosts Oklahoma and they're preferred to advance because they went 33-5 this year at home. They've got a pretty healthy starting lineup, and they've Danny Hultzen who is 10-1 this year. Oklahoma wins with ability as they hit 93 home runs this year. The problem for the Sooners is that Virginia's Davenport Field is not a home run hitting field. It ought to be an interesting series when UCLA hosts Cal State Fullerton. Fullerton was 18-6 on the road this year but UCLA has a dominant pitching staff that ought to be the difference.

Florida State hosts Vanderbilt in what ought to be the best competition in the super regionals. Vandy was only barely defeated by Florida State for a number one seed.

Clemson and Alabama are # two seeds and one of these will be progressing with Clemson getting the home field advantage. Look for a number of runs to be scored, since both of these teams can hit but don't have formidable pitching staffs.

The College World Series will probably be held from June 19th to the 29th with a game on the 30th if needed. Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska, is going to be the site of the event. They've been the location for the College World Series since 1950. This will, nevertheless, be the last year for the stadium. It's the 61st to be held in Rosenblatt Stadium, and the 64th College World Series in general.
