The national championship is the first in program history for Mississippi State. Its previous best finish in the Top 25 was No. 2, which it did in 2013, when it lost in the CWS finals to UCLA.

Arkansas spent most of the regular season ranked No. 1, holding the top spot for 14 straight weeks going into the NCAA Tournament. But North Carolina State upset the Razorbacks in super regionals and they finish the year No. 5.
