The 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament has been electric before we're even close to Omaha and the College World Series. The No. 1 national seed, the UCLA Bruins, won't be playing in Super Regionals after a loss to St. Mary's on Sunday forced their elimination, No. 2 Georgia Tech, No. 8 Florida and No. 10 Florida State were all upset as well. And all of that made the bracket that much more surprising as we're getting ready for Super Regionals.
After a wild Monday evening across the country, the next round is finally set. Let's take a look at the 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament bracket looks now, and where we're heading next in Super Regionals.

Like we said above, this was one of the most chaotic Regional rounds we've seen in recent history. UCLA saw their region won by the lowest seed in Los Angeles, Cal Poly, which went undefeated. The same was true for the Hattiesburg regional as well, with No. 9 overall seed Southern Miss going down and bottom-seeded Little Rock emerging into the Super Regionals with no losses against them. Their opponent in the next round, Troy, will now host a Super Regional for the first time in program history after toppling the nationally seeded Gators in Gainesville. And that wasn't the only major upset in the state of Florida on Monday, as St. John's, after winning their first two games in the Tallahassee Regional, took down host Florida State in strong fashion to advance to the Super Regionals and a date with Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Beyond that, Ole Miss came out swinging and took down the Lincoln Regional as No. 13 Nebraska fell in back-to-back games, losing to the Rebels then Arizona State to get eliminated as the hosts. The likes of UNC, Georgia, Mississippi State, Texas, Oregon, Alabama and Kansas, however, took care of business at their home stadiums and still have their dreams of playing in Omaha for the College World Series fully intact.
What will be fascinating is to see how the Super Regionals play out in what has been a tournament where the narrative has been dominated by underdogs. Will Cal Poly, Little Rock, and the like continue their runs, or is this where the dream ends? Based on how things have played out to this point, it's safe to expect the unexpected.
