The Texas Longhorns<\/a> are heading to the College World Series after completing a sweep of the Oregon Ducks<\/a> in the Austin Super Regionals. UT baseball beat the Ducks 11-3<\/a> on Saturday and a 6-5 come-from-behind win over Oregon<\/a> on Sunday. Now, Texas heads to Omaha to face an SEC rival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Longhorn will face the Georgia Bulldogs<\/a> to open the CWS. Texas will face UGA on Saturday, June 13 at 7 p.m. CT at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska.<\/p>\n

There are a record five SEC teams among the eight teams in the College World Series. That’s the most any conference has sent to Omaha in one year. So the Horns path to a national title could be filled with familiar foes. Texas and Georgia are joined by Ole Miss, Alabama and Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Texas didn’t face Georgia during the regular season. UT faced the other three SEC CWS teams. Texas won its series against all three. The Horns are 2-1 against Ole Miss and Alabama. They swept the Sooners 3-0. OU and Alabama are in Georgia and Texas’ side of the bracket.<\/p>\n

The other three teams in Omaha are North Carolina from the ACC, West Virginia from the Big 12 and Cinderella Troy, who finished in a three-way tie for third in the Sun Belt Conference.<\/p>\n
