Read Doug Ziefel's full college baseball betting preview for the 2025 NCAA Regionals here.
1. Arkansas Razorbacks: The Razorbacks enter the postseason as the favorites to win the College World Series, and they've earned it. Dare I say this Arkansas team is different? Their lineup finished fifth in OPS and wRC+.
Aside from a much more consistent lineup, this Arkansas staff has depth and is tremendous out of the bullpen.
The +450 number may be the best we get on them to win the College World Series going forward, as they should have no issues getting out of this Regional and have already shown they can take a series from Tennessee should they see them in Supers.
2. Kansas Jayhawks: It’s safe to say that Kansas is no longer just a basketball school, as the Jayhawks flourished this season and finished 43-15.
In fact, they surprised everyone by winning the Big 12 regular-season title with an emphatic sweep of West Virginia. However, their bats went cold against TCU in the Big 12 Tournament, which led to an early exit.
Regardless, the Jayhawks are a team to back individually in this region, as they have two frontline starters and a lineup that ranked 19th nationally in wRC+.
3. Creighton Bluejays: Creighton is team that will finally be tested after seemingly dominating the Big East wire-to-wire this season. The Bluejays finished with a 40-14 record, going 17-4 in conference play.
However, they ranked 196th in strength of schedule, and their only two wins against teams in the field of 64 are Kansas State and Nebraska. So, while the Bluejays rank well on paper, I'm skeptical, to say the least.
4. North Dakota State Bison: NDSU is another bid-steal from the Summit League. The Bison are by far the weakest team in the field, as they finished 19-32 on the season and ranked 160th in RPI.
To their credit, they earned their way here by taking two out of three matchups against top-seeded Oral Roberts to punch their ticket. However, it’s clear their upside is bleak in Fayetteville.
