Sources & methodology

Compiled from the College World Series record, 1947–2026: each year's champion and runner-up plus every program's game-by-game appearances. Titles are CWS championships; finals are appearances in the championship series; Omaha counts every College World Series berth. Programs that reached early CWS editions but are no longer Division I (NYU, Tufts, Ithaca and others) appear without a crest.
