Not only that, starting year 2001 (start of this century, so that disqualifies LSU from this comparison, they won one in 2000 and in 2009), Texas, Florida, and South Carolina have made Omaha each 8 times.
Texas won twice; finished 2nd twice.
South Carolina won twice; finished 2nd twice.
Florida won once; finished 2nd twice (this year still out).
Who did Florida finish 2nd to in the College World Series in this century?
Uh, Texas and South Carolina.
Oh, South Carolina also finished 2nd to Texas.
So, all three of Texas, Florida, and South Carolina have 8 Omaha appearances this century.
The best Florida can do this year is equal Texas' and So.Carolina's championships.
But Texas is the only of the three to win over the other two in the championship series.
P.S., with apologies to oversight of the Beavers, with 6 Omaha appearances this century, with back to back titles (hard to do, Florida can still do that this year of course), but no 2nd places, but OSU is still in the hunt this year. Sorry, Beavs.
