The Arizona Wildcats (48-17) won their final 11 games,
including ten in the NCAA tournament, five in Omaha and two to
sweep South Carolina in the deciding series, to claim their
fourth overall national title and first since 1986.
The poll voters came from 42 college baseball writers and related
media persons from throughout the nation. This week's final poll
