*Oregon State and Long Beach State do not have a conference tournament and won as a season champion.
** Yale played as one of two top teams in the Ivy League and won the first annual Ivy League Baseball Championship Series.
The ones that have not won their conference tournaments will have an at large bid for the tournament. The teams that qualify are based on Rating Percentage Index (RPI). RPI is is a quantity used to rank sports teams based upon a team's wins and losses and its strength of schedule.
FGCU's schedule was pretty strong and had they lost to JU in either of the championship games, they would have a strong possibility to receive an at-large bid in the regionals.
