In what should be one of the feature matchups of this College World Series, the Virginia Cavaliers draw the Florida Gators as their opening opponent. The Gators are the #2 National Seed joining Wake Forest and the Hoos as the only teams in the country with at least 50 wins. Florida went 20-10 in the mighty SEC on their way to the number one seed in the SEC Tournament (where they lost to Vanderbilt in the Semifinals). In the NCAA Regionals, they dropped their second game to Texas Tech, but battled back to beat the UConn Huskies and then got revenge on Texas Tech beating the Red Raiders twice to advance to the Super Regionals.
