Eight teams are left vying for the 2024 national championship, as the College World Series is set to start on Friday in Omaha, Nebraska.

The field consists of seven nationally seeded teams, with usual powerhouse Florida serving as the lone non-seeded team to make the tournament. No. 1 Tennessee, No. 2 Kentucky, No. 3 Texas A&M and No. 4 North Carolina also all clinched a spot in the final event.

No. 12 Virginia and No. 4 North Carolina will have the honor of kicking off the CWS this season, with their matchup at 2 p.m. ET on Friday.
