The SEC dominates the field this year with 10 teams making the tournament, eight of which are hosting regionals.

Wake Forest is a well-deserving No. 1 seed as it looks for its first national championship since 1955.

The Demon Deacons are hitting .304 as a team, with Nick Kurtz leading the way thanks to a .379 average, 23 home runs and 63 RBI. Brock Wilken paces Wake Forest with 27 homers and 74 RBI.

Rhett Lowder leads a dominant starting rotation with a 13-0 record and 1.69 ERA. He also has 114 strikeouts in 95.2 innings.

The NCAA tournament begins with a double-elimination regional round hosted at a No. 1 seed's home ball field.

The 16 winners are then paired into groups of eight for best-of-three super regional rounds. The victors there advance to the eight-team College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

No. 2 Maryland, No. 3 Northeastern and No. 4 George Mason reside in Wake Forest's quartet, which begins Friday alongside the other 15 regionals.
