Finishing off the regular season in the No. 1 spot on most of the polls, Miami was selected as the top seed in the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. But being No. 1 doesn’t guarantee a championship at the College World Series; the only No. 1 seed to do so since the tournament expanded to 64 teams was the 1999 Hurricanes.

“There was a lot of discussion about who the No. 1 seed should be, and quite frankly, North Carolina and Arizona State all got a strong look at that position,” Division I selection committee chairman Larry Templeton said. “At the end of the night, Miami’s play toward the end of the season, particularly winning the tournament — and we were watching that tournament as the selection process was going through — probably convinced the committee.”

The NCAA Baseball Tournament starts Friday with the eight winners of the super regionals competing in the College World Series, which starts on June 14th.
