The SEC has once again proven to be far and away the best conference in college baseball, claiming its seventh straight national championship after the Oklahoma Sooners left Omahcana on top of the sport.

Taking on North Carolina in the championship series, things headed to a decisive third game on Monday night, where the Sooners dominated on their way to a 13-2 victory for their third national title in program history — and their first since 1994.

The title was an extremely unlikely one. Oklahoma finished 11th in the SEC during the regular season, dropped its only game at the SEC Tournament in Hoover, and barely made the postseason at all. But after upsetting host and No. 2 national seed Georgia Tech in the Atlanta Regional — including a Dayton Tockey walk-off in extra innings — and hammering Kansas in the Super Regionals, the Sooners entered Omaha with a ton of momentum and rode it all the way to a championship. They became the first team in history to win the national title while starting a freshman pitcher in every College World Series game.

Eliminating both Alabama (a 9-0 opening rout) and Georgia along the way, it was an extremely impressive road for Oklahoma — but an even more impressive run of dominance for the SEC.

With Vanderbilt in 2019, Mississippi State in 2021, Ole Miss in 2022, LSU in 2023, Tennessee in 2024, LSU again in 2025 and now the Sooners, the conference has won every College World Series held since 2019.

As Auburn and Alabama chase their first national titles in program history amid impressive runs of their own, they do it knowing they’ll have to beat the rest of the conference to get there — a feat looking more difficult with each passing year.
