College Baseball Teams with the Most Men’s College World Series Titles

The college baseball teams with the most Men’s College World Series Titles are a fairly short list. No one is really close to USC. Here’s the list for you. LSU added to their total in 2023 breaking the tie with Texas for second place.

  • USC – 12
  • LSU – 7
  • Texas – 6
  • Arizona State – 5
  • Arizona, Cal State Fullerton, and Miami – 4
  • Minnesota and Oregon State – 3
  • Vandy, Stanford, South Carolina, Michigan, California, and Oklahoma – 2

The University of Kentucky who has been having one of the program’s best seasons in 2024 is the only SEC team to not have ever played in the CWS. 

College World Series Winners (1996-2024)

The list of College World Series winners is listed for you below. I broke up the lists so you can follow them easier. LSU won it all last year over Florida with a good football score in the championship game. The SEC has won the MCWS every year from 2019 to date, so we’ll see if 2024 brings a different conference to the title.
