The 2005 College World Series took place June 17-23 with championship games June 25-6. Participating teams included Arizona State, Baylor, Florida, Nebraska, Oregon State, Tennessee, Texas, and Tulane.
The 8-team tournament concludes the NCAA baseball tournament. When the tournament had 48 teams, there were 8 six-team regionals, with the winners advancing to the College World Series. With the tournament's current size of 64 teams, adopted in 1999, there are 16 four-team Double-elimination ''regionals''. Regional winners advance to 8 head-to-head best-of-three ''super regionals'', and super regional winners advance to the College World Series.
Until the late 1980s, the College World Series was a pure double-elimination event. The format was changed later to have the final two teams with fewer than two losses play in a single championship game; still later, the tournament was divided into two double-elimination brackets, with the survivors of each bracket playing in a single championship game. The single-game championship was made for broadcast television, with the final game traditionally on CBS. But in 2003, the tournament was shifted entirely to ESPN and the championship final became a best-of-three series between the last two remaining teams. In the results shown here, indicates the score of the championship game(s) only.
The Division II tournament has been held in Montgomery, Alabama since 1985. The Division III tournament has been held in Appleton, Wisconsin since 2000.
