Talk:College World Series

message: I am just wondering what everyone thinks about that.  It seems like most of what anyone cares about when it comes to College baseball is the College World Series and I thought the two articles should go together.  It is possible I got the templates backwards, but I also checked and saw that Final Four redirects to NCAA Men'sDivision I Basketball Championship, which is perfectly analogous to what I am suggesting.  But I'll leave it out there for anyone to debate and consider.  DandyDan2007 11:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger with NCAA Division I  Baseball Championship 

message: I removed special sections on the 2007 and 2008 CWS.  Each year's series has its own page and is adequately linked to from this article.  This article is about the series in general, not about any particular year's edition.  Their inclusion here is an example of WP:Recentism.  I figure I should leave a note here lest I be accused by User:Lenerd of vandalism again.  Have a nice day.--67.101.103.239 (talk) 05:17, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Seeing as USC was used to refer to both teams at times, which is dumb, I've changed both to no longer be ambiguous.  But if either was USC, it would be Southern California, as they're more well known both in sports and in baseball. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.255.57 (talk) 16:23, May 14, 2011‎
:I am not sure I would agree.  South Carolina has been in the finals of the CWS the past three years, winning it twice.  And their other sports teams are competitive, too.  --rogerd (talk) 18:31, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  If the world runs short of commas, they can find plenty to spare in this article! 

message: NCAA.org's own  General CWS Records – NCAA.org, Page 14: All Time Won-Loss By Conference" clearly lists two separate and distinctively different WACs which existed in two entirely difference eras.  BlueBonnetLeague would do well to reference citations already in existence rather than rewrite an integral portion of the article to suit his own tastes.  BlueBonnetLeague does not own the article - his edit is pointless and serves no purpose other than to disrupt the natural flow and stability of the article and to call into question his understanding, or total ignorance thereof, of factual evidence already cited on page 14 of the NCAA CWS Record Book. There were/are two WACs. Adding a list of conference winners is doable, but without blowing-up the existing format and without removing existing citations. Whatever BlueBonnetLeague's motives are here, and I suspect I know what they are, they ARE NOT for the good of the article. Scrooster (talk) 12:57, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: WAC in 1991: Air Force, BYU, Colorado, Hawaii, New Mexico, San Diego St., Utah, UTEP, Wyoming + 2 associate members.  How in the world is 1992 a different era?  Teams in 1992: Air Force, BYU, Colorado, Fresno St., Hawaii, New Mexico, San Diego St., Utah, UTEP, Wyoming + 4 associate members.  Even if you go back to 1979, they lost two members (Arizona and Arizona St.) and added one (San Diego St.).  That means it's a new conference and a change of eras?  There is no reason to split them up whatsoever.  You seem to be citing a MISTAKE.    This may have been corrected if the current records page mentioned conferences at all. Division I Baseball Records  The first list (of conference records, not the title games) only has the WAC once.  Look at the history of WAC baseball.  It's one conference.  WAC Tournament History – WACSports.com  The people who want to split that up seem to have the agenda here.Theknightswhosay (talk) 09:54, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two WACs - two separate and unique conferences 

message: In the table I fixed rows 1947 and 1948 to show all games of the best-of-three final series.
Evidently the final was double elimination from 1949 to 1987 (and the entire tournament "pure double elimination" from 1950 to 1987, we say). Thus some champions were undefeated, whose last wins were the last games played only because they won. Other champions were once defeated, whose last wins were knockouts --"final games" in the usual sense where that status is known in advance.
Some mark should be used to distinguish the two classes of Champions, or tournaments (Year), or games (Score). Evidently there was not a single extra-inning game during the pure double-elimination timespan, so there is plenty of space and roughly uniform space in column Score from 1949 to 1987. Offhand I suppose I would mark column Score for that reason. Perhaps star (*) = undefeated champion eliminates once-defeated runner-up; the opposite result would have been followed by another game, now in the knockout class.

replies: text: I completely agree with the concept, although I think the mark should be on the name of the champion to identify them as an undefeated champion.  That would correspond to the way the NCAA Record Book notates them, if I recall correctly. Billcasey905 (talk) 17:33, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
