Well, I (softly) committed to this yesterday, so I guess we're going to do this. Let's swing around to the ACC today. The only team in the ACC not to sponsor baseball is Syracuse. They had varsity baseball a two different points. First from 1870 to 1921, then again from sometime in the 1940's to 1972. They made one appearance in the College World Series during their existence, in 1961 when Syracuse was independent. They did well, too, getting all the way to the semifinals, losing twice to Oklahoma St. That leaves us with 14 ACC schools still playing baseball, and they typically play it pretty well. That said, I was surprised to find that the ACC only has a couple more national championships than the Big Ten does, 6 to 4. Still, the ACC has seen significant more success in general in the national tournament, having numerous runners-up, whereas the Big Ten hasn't had a team finish in the top two since the 60's.
