2024 NCAA Baseball tournament: Full bracket, predictions for the College World Series
The official field of 64 teams competing for the 2024 College World Series have been announced, and with it comes the official bracket for the tournament. With three schools (High Point, Niagara, and Northern Kentucky) making their first appearances in this year's tournament, there's a good chance for a major upset at some point.
Of course, the usual suspects are all involved once again. Vanderbilt, Florida, and LSU have each reached the NCAA tournament at least ten years in a row. Still, this year appears to be as open as any. With regionals beginning on Friday, May 31, there isn't much time before we're back in Omaha.
Here is the full 2024 NCAA baseball bracket as well as some predictions from around the internet.

Predictions for 2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament:
Justin Martinez, The Oklahoman: Dallas Baptist to upset Arizona
Martinez writes, "Don't sleep on Dallas Baptist, which won the Conference USA Tournament and went a combined 19-8 in non-home games. It even earned a 4-3 win over Arizona in the Frisco Classic on March 1."
Aaron Moore, VSiN: Oklahoma State is a good bet
Moore refers to Oklahoma State as "a hot team that has plenty of odds on the bone." He adds, "The Big 12 tournament champs are hosting the Stillwater Regional and playing their best ball of the season. A ticket on the Cowboys would be one to let ride as long as possible."
When is the College World Series?
The 2024 Men's College World Series begins Friday, June 14, with games going until June 23-24 depending on if an extra game in the Finals is necessary.
