With perhaps the most balanced team in Omaha, the Florida Gators are the favorites heading into this season's College World Series.
Since their opening round loss in the SEC Tournament to fellow College World Series participant Arkansas, the Florida Gators have been on a tear. They beat Auburn and got revenge against the Hogs. Then as an encore defeated the remaining two SEC representatives in Omaha, the LSU Tigers and Vanderbilt Commodores to win the SEC Tournament Championship. On the season the Gators were 7-3 against teams in this year's CWS in addition to their 49-16 record overall (including postseason)
Following their impressive run through the SEC Tournament the Gators took down the Gainesville Regional with relative ease defeating Florida A&M 19-0, USF 8-2, and Florida Atlantic 2-1.
