Post-Season History

NCAA Division 1 Post-Season History

July 1, 2016

2016 is in the books with a satisfying finish as the CWS required all three "if necessary" games to decide the champion. Sad to have the final game played when nobody could watch, but it was fun.

Scoring

Scoring was slightly up from 2015 overall, and up a full run per game for the post season. scoring in the SR era

The jump in post-season scoring is a fluke, though. Pitching dominated the super-regional and CWS rounds, with about 1.5 and 2 runs per game fewer than 2015 respectively. post-season scoring in the SR era

Team and Conference Post-Season History

I've put together some references for team results over the 64-team tournament era, updated to include 2016. Each time is assigned a score based upon where they finished in seasons when they made the post season, weighted by how recently the finish occurred.

Post-Season finish For each year, indicate the team's finish by:

Reg	Team was in the field
SR	Team won a regional
CWS	Team won a super-regional
2^nd	Team won a CWS bracket
Champ	Team won the championship

Team summaries

Teams' overall record, total appearances, regional championships, super-regional record, CWS appearances, CWS record, number of times runner-up, number of championships.

Interconference post-season head-to-head includes these reports:

Overall	Row-conference post-season record in all post-season games. The row-conference name links to the interconference results for each year a conference team participated in the tournament.
Regionals	Same as above but includes only games played in the Regional round.
Super-Regionals	Includes only games played in the super-regional round.
CWS	Interconference results in CWS games.
Teams in CWS	Lists the number of teams from the conference that played in the CWS for each year.

Conference summaries

Total appearances, number of conference teams who've appeared, number regional championships by number different teams, number of CWS appearances by number different teams, number times runner up and number of teams runners up at least once, number of championships and number different champions, and total number of teams that have played in the championship series.
