Published by Brian Marron on June 18, 2016
The 2016 College World Series begins Saturday, with all four teams in Bracket 1 taking the diamond in an attempt to gain an early advantage within the group.
Bracket 2 play will begin Sunday, as Miami looks to be the favorite in a group that features some surprises in Arizona and UC Santa Barbara.
Take a look below at the format of the tournament, the two brackets and predictions on who will be crowned the 2016 champion of NCAA baseball.
Format
The format of the tournament is simple.
The four teams in each bracket will engage in double-elimination play within their groups until a winner emerges. The victors of each bracket will then square off in a best-of-three series to determine a national champion.
