The following are notes and records, in summary form, for conferences and teams, participating in the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship and the College World Series (CWS). Except as noted, the conference is the one that the team was in at the time of participation. Independents at the time of participation are listed as "Ind", never as being in any prior, nor subsequent, conference.

Champions and Runners up

The number of champions and runner ups in the format #.#, reverse chronology cumulative. Updated: 20:31, 30 June 2016 (UTC).
Sum is useful for error checking. In a column, all championships and all runner ups should add up, separately, to the sum shown.

Note: The B12 Conference record includes teams from the Big 8 and the Southwest Conferences before 1994. All teams involved were founding members of the Big 12 Conference, therefore they did not leave a conference, with continued existence, to join a preexisting conference.

CWS Participants

The number of teams from each conference that participated in the College World Series, reverse chronology cumulative.
Year across the top. Updated: 18:30, 26 June 2016 (UTC).
Sum is useful for error checking. In a column, all numbers should add up to the sum shown.

Note: The AAC was formed in 2014 by some teams splitting off from the BEa; participation is zero for all earlier years, perforce. Any teams in the AAC are included in the BEa, when that was their previous conference at the time, even when that team was a founding member of the AAC. Some of the teams included above, remained in the Bea after the split, and did not go to the AAC.

Seed and Finish

The following shows all participating teams for some conferences. Updated 20:33, 30 June 2016 (UTC).

  • The "Rs" is Regional 1 through 4 seeds before play starts then "Rf" is Regional finish based on actual wins & losses. Likewise, "Ns" is the top 8 National seeds before play starts then "Of" is the Overall finish, where a finish at 9th or worse is for a team not making the CWS. A dash — in "Ns" shows a team made the CWS without having been a top 8 national seed.
  • The "Avg/Totals" rows are the average seed and average finish in the Regionals, the total number of top 8 national seeds, and the total number of CWS participants for each conference.
  • Clicking on "Team" will sort by team name with all conference "Avg/Totals" grouped. Conferences can be compared. For example, in 2016 the ACC average (Avg) "Rs" is 1.70 while the Avg "Rf" is 2.00, i.e., 2nd; they finished slightly worse than their seeding. While the B12 Avg "Rs" is 1.33 and Avg "Rf" is 1.00: they finished slightly better. The ACC had total "Ns" of 3 and "Of" of 1; in other words, they had 3 top 8 national seeds but only had 1 make the CWS. Looking at the teams, Clemson was the #7 national seed and finished 17th, outside the CWS; Miami (FL) was #5 finishing 7th. Finishing 1st through 7th (tied for 7th with one other team for the top 8 finishers) are CWS participants. Finishing 9th through 49th (worst at 0–2 win–loss in the Regional) is not making the CWS. An "Of" that's blank also indicates not making the CWS.
  • Clicking above the conference names, on the up/down arrow to the right of "Team", will regroup by conference.
