After a long regular season, conference tournaments, the regional and super regional round, we are down to the final eight teams. Fortunately for the fans in Austin, the No. 6 Texas Longhorns are one of the squads still vying for a national championship in Omaha.Their path to Omaha saw them sweep through both the Austin Regional and then the Austin Super Regional after taking care of business against the No. 11 Oregon Ducks. However, all of that goes out the window now as their path to a seventh title is not going to be easy.Of the eight teams that reached Omaha, five are from the SEC. Four of them find themselves on the same side of the bracket. The Longhorns are one of those four, as they will look to take care of business against stiff competition and bring some hardware back to Austin.Breaking down the College World SeriesTexas Longhorns outfielder Aiden Robbins celebrates hitting a home run against the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos in the Austin Regional. | University of Texas AthleticsBracketNow that their are eight teams left standing, they are split into two pods of four at the College World Series. For the Longhorns, their side of the bracket is an all-SEC affair. They are grouped with the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide, No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs and the Oklahoma Sooners.On the other side of the bracket, should the Longhorns advance to the championship series, they could find themselves facing the No. 5 North Carolina Tar Heels, Ole Miss Rebels, Troy Trojans or No. 16 West Virginia Mountaineers.

And it isn't hard to see why. Boasting an offense led by Golden Spikes finalist and SEC Player of the Year, Daniel Jackson, Georgia has rolled through the postseason.After winning both the regular season and tournament conference crowns, have also swept through the Athens Regional and Athens Super Regional. Simply put, the Bulldogs are on an absolute roll and show no signs of slowing down.𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑫𝑨𝑾𝑮𝑺 𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑫𝑬𝑫 𝑻𝑶 𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑯𝑨‼️#GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/C8Avk4YI1V— Georgia Baseball (@BaseballUGA) June 7, 2026No. 7 Alabama Crimson TideThroughout the regular season, the Crimson Tide were one of the several SEC teams that were rather up and down. Some weeks they looked like absolute world-beaters followed by a weekend in which their opponents overwhelmed them on the diamond.None of that matters in the postseason. Catching fire in the NCAA Tournament, they, too, swept through their Tuscaloosa Regional and subsequent Tuscaloosa Super Regional. All of a sudden their offense is red hot while the pitching staff has dominated, making them a dangerous team in Omaha.FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1999, THE CRIMSON TIDE IS HEADED TO OMAHA!#RollTide pic.twitter.com/P0F66buysa— Alabama Baseball (@AlabamaBSB) June 8, 2026Oklahoma SoonersOf the four teams on this side of the bracket, the Sooners are the only ones that come into Omaha who didn't host a regional or super regional. They faded down the stretch of the regular season, finishing 11th in the SEC and receiving the No. 2 seed in Georgia Tech's regional.Having beat the Yellowjackets twice to take that regional, Oklahoma then steamrolled through the No. 15 Kansas Jayhawks to win the Lawrence Super Regional. Much like the Crimson Tide, the Sooners enter Omaha on an absolute tear in the postseason and ready to get back to the championship series.OKLAOMAHA‼️ pic.twitter.com/KLQWUFjfwn— Oklahoma Baseball (@OU_Baseball) June 8, 2026ScheduleSaturday June 13Game 3 - No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Oklahoma Sooners - 2 p.m. CT/ESPNGame 4 - No. 6 Texas Longhorns vs. No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs - 7 p.m. CT/ESPNMonday June 15 Game 7 - Loser Game 3 vs. Loser Game 4 - 1 p.m. CT/ESPN (loser eliminated)Game 8 - Winner Game 3 vs. Winner Game 4 - 6 p.m. CT/ESPNTuesday June 16Game 10 - Winner Game 7 vs. Loser Game 8 - 7 p.m. CT/ESPN (loser eliminated)Wednesday June 17Game 12 - Winner Game 8 vs. Winner Game 10 - 6 p.m. CT/ESPNThursday June 18 (If necessary)Game TBD - Winner Game 12 vs. Loser Game 12 - TBD/ESPN (loser eliminated)Pitching matchups and lineupsCheck back here for updated pitching matchups and lineups as soon as they're announced for each game.Game 3 - No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Oklahoma SoonersTBD vs. TBD Game 4 - No. 6 Texas Longhorns vs. No. 3 Georgia BulldogsTBD vs. TBDScoresCheck back here for score updates as games finish.Sign up to our free newsletter and follow us on Facebook, X and Instagram for the latest news.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
