Rankings from D1Baseball

The tournament has been held every year since 1977 (with the exception of 2020), with LSU claiming twelve championships, the most of any school. Original members Georgia and Kentucky along with 2013 addition Missouri have never won the tournament. This is the twenty-third consecutive year and twenty-fifth overall that the event has scheduled to be held at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium, known from 2007 through 2012 as Regions Park.

Format

The regular season division winners claim the top two seeds and the next ten teams by conference winning percentage, regardless of division, claim the remaining berths in the tournament. The bottom eight teams play a single-elimination opening round, followed by a double-elimination format until the semifinals, when the format reverts to single elimination through the championship game. This is the ninth year of this format.[3][4]
