Background
The 2022 edition of the NCAA Men's College World Series featured four teams from the SEC, all from the conference's West Division; two from the Big 12, both of which have announced they will join the SEC no later than the 2025–26 school year; and one each from the ACC and Pac-12. Most of these teams advanced to Omaha by winning on the road, as only two were national seeds. The top national seed, Tennessee, was eliminated in its Super Regional by Notre Dame in a series that went the full three games. In the MCWS itself, the #2 national seed Stanford and Texas quickly went two-and-out, with the Cardinal first getting destroyed by Arkansas 17-2 then losing handily to Auburn. The Longhorns lost their opener to Notre Dame, then exited after being hammered by the #5 national seed, archrival Texas A&M. A&M reached the Bracket 1 final, losing there to Oklahoma.
Ole Miss went 5–1 at the MCWS, beating the Auburn Tigers once and the Arkansas Razorbacks twice in three matchups to advance to the championship series, where they swept Oklahoma to win the World Series. Ole Miss defeated the Sooners 10-3 in Game 1 and 4-2 in Game 2 to win the MCWS title, the school's first in any men's sport (and only its second overall, after the women's golf title in 2021).
