are members of the Southeastern Conference; the conference tied its own record set in 1997 when Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Mississippi State participated. South Carolina and Texas made their third consecutive appearance in Omaha; the Longhorns defeated the Gamecocks in the 2002 national championship game, the last year the bracket winners played one winner-take-all game. Cal State Fullerton, Miami, and LSU were also included in last year's CWS field. Last year's champion and runner-up, Rice and Stanford, did not make it past Sub-Regional play; 2004 was the first time in six years that Stanford has not made it to Omaha. The 2004 participants combined for 110 CWS appearances and 21 Championships; only Arkansas and South Carolina had yet to win a title. The 2004 participants had won 10 of the last 14 national titles. CWS records tied or broken Most appearances in one CWS by a pitcher: five by Texas' J. B. Cox, the 10th time that has happened. Most CWS games finished by a relief pitcher in a career: nine by Texas' Huston Street (2001–03), tying the mark set by Miami's Rick Raether (1985–86). Largest single-game attendance: 28,216 on June 23 for the South Carolina-Cal State Fullerton game. National seeds Bold indicates CWS participant.
