The Oklahoma Sooners are National Champions! The crew gets together to recap all the action from the College World Series Championship between Oklahoma and North Carolina.

The College Baseball Show wraps up the 2026 season with a full championship recap as Mark, Jared, Will, and Jason break down Oklahoma's stunning run to the national title, a team that finished 11th in the Big 12, overhauled its rotation midseason, and steamrolled everyone in the postseason to claim the crown in one of the most improbable Omaha runs in recent memory. The crew debates where it ranks alongside Fresno State 2008, heaps praise on Skip Johnson's coaching, gives North Carolina and Scott Forbes their flowers as deserving runners-up, revisits the preseason top 25 hits and misses (LSU, TCU, and Kentucky disappointing; Alabama and Oregon as vindicated picks), digs into the chaos of the transfer portal window overlapping with the CWS, and closes the season out with a fun serpentine 2027 Omaha eight draft covering 32 teams across the board. A fitting send-off to a tremendous season.
