Coaches pick Arizona State to
win CWS
Sun Devils followed by Gators, Horned Frogs

OMAHA, Neb. – Arizona
State is the favorite to take home the college baseball national
title according to a CollegeBaseballInsider.com survey of head
coaches around the country.
The Sun Devils, the No. 1 national seed and owner
of a 52-8 record, earned 36 percent of the vote from 75 head
coaches who participate in the survey. Florida and TCU, who are
in the opposite side of the College World Series bracket from
ASU, each received 12 votes, or 16 percent.
UCLA tallied nine votes (12 percent), followed by
South Carolina (8 percent), Florida State (5 percent), Oklahoma
(4 percent) and Clemson (3 percent). The Tigers are the Sun
Devils’ first-round opponent.
“Arizona State is clearly the favorite, but
what’s interesting is how split the votes are among Florida, TCU
and UCLA,” said Sean Ryan, co-founder of
CollegeBaseballInsider.com. “Not only is that side of the
bracket wide open, but college coaches around the country also
think the winner of that side has a great shot of winning the
whole thing.”
CollegeBaseballInsider.com,
which has been covering Division I college baseball since 2002,
asked head coaches to choose one winner from the eight teams in
Omaha vying for the College World Series title. The sample of 75
coaches represents about 25 percent of Division I head coaches.
