NCAA Baseball Tournament 2015 bracket announced: UCLA, LSU top the field

Let’s do some postseason baseball, y’all. The selection committee released its field of 64 on Monday, officially setting the bracket for the 2015 NCAA Baseball Tournament.

The top eight teams -- UCLA, LSU, Louisville, Florida, Miami, Illinois, TCU and Missouri State, in that order -- are national seeds, meaning they’ll host super regionals if they get out of the first round. The other eight host teams for the regionals are Cal State Fullerton, Dallas Baptist, Florida State, Houston, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and UC Santa Barbara.

So here’s how this works: four teams head to every host site and play a double elimination first round. The winner of each regional then advances to a super regional, where they play a best of three against one other team. The last eight teams standing head to Omaha for the College World Series, which mimics the regional round.
