Cignetti is a one-of-a-kind anamoly. He proved what everyone once thought was impossible could be done in short order, but he's not a realistic goal.
The goal is to not waste four to five years on a 6–6 coach and say "these rebuilds take time" with a straight face. Petrino 1.0 had a bad, but competitive first year, an acceptable second year, and years three and four were reaping the rewards. I'm not saying we should expect 11–2 every year, but we somehow started buying that missing a bowl 50% of the time is just the way it goes, and 9 wins is a coup.
frick that shite.

One was not only the worst coach in Arkansas history, but in the running for the worst in SEC history. The other was a guy with no HC experience and loved literally and figuratively reminding people of that.
Call it a hunch.

LSU not even getting the nod under the honorable mentions for their 2001-2011 run is a decent troll, intentional or otherwise. Four conference titles, two national titles, and a third title appearance. Finished with two losses or fewer six times. Finished 6–2 in conference or better seven times.

He had OU as the runner-up in 2022 and they'll at least be the runner-up in 2026, if they don't end up winning the thing.
I'm not sure how I feel about him. In eight years at Oklahoma, he's gone to the CWS twice while being unranked with basically .500 conference records and getting hot at the right time. Four of the other six years, he only went to a Regional. The remaining two, he missed the tournament altogether.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, especially if he ends up upsetting North Carolina. But I get the feeling he'd maybe do just good enough here to not get fired for ten years, and that's not an appetizing prospect.

re: Where does OU rank as the worst team to make a CWS final?

I knew there were actual differences, but not being an OU fan, I'm not aware of all the minutia. I just remember that 2022 OU team being unranked and not very impressive, and then overcoming every obstacle in the tournament, just like this year. At a glance, 2022 Oklahoma was 45–22 and undefeated in Omaha going into the CWS finals. 2026 is 41–22 and undefeated. '22 was 15–9 in the Big 12, '26 was 14–16 in the SEC. The only real difference seems to be the '22 squad won their conference tournament and this year got bounced on the first game.

This Oklahoma team is virtually identical in strength and circumstances to the 2022 OU team that went to the finals, aren't they?

Coastal Carolina has a unique brand of efficiency. They're not a team that would ever be expected to compete, and they've only made the CWS twice. But they finished as the national champions and the runner-up for those two appearances.

I really wish we got paired with UCLA, they are so overrated. 2-2 with Saint Mary's in the 8th.
I didn't see them losing game one against Saint Mary's in their own Regional, but UCLA has reminded me of a shittier 2021 Arkansas or 2022 Tennessee all year. The record is impressive, and they ARE good, but they've won a concerning number of games by thin margins due to a late offensive surge that provided just enough output. Most of their competition has been lackluster, at that. Those emotionally invested will call it being "clutch," but it's a trend that Arkansas fans are too familiar with.
They've had Super Regional heartbreak tattooed on their forehead all year, but we'll see how they respond.

I'm just saying I bet they'd find Regionals Auburn a much different animal when they don't have the luxury of being a designated trap game.

They're also 41–13 and have been playing like a fringe top 25 team all year. Auburn can't exactly afford to throw the kitchen sink at a midweek game with an SEC opponent coming up, but Jacksonville State is both good enough to take that game and greatly benefits by doing so. They're so much stronger than the bulk of their conference that they can still take 2/3 on the weekend.

USC, with 12 national championships in baseball, has a field that seats only 2,500 people. In a place with perfect weather 12 months of the year.

You say "another" year like it happens often, lol. The last time we were a 2-seed was in 2022, and 2015 before that (we did miss the tourney altogether in 2016, though).
Interestingly, both of those times were the Stillwater Regional, and both times we advanced to the CWS.
