Miami has a very good chance, especially since they have gone the past 3 of 4 years. They have a good team this year. Their toughest opponent will be Rice. Miami's power hitters (Weeks and Giles to name a few) have had great games againts Ole Miss, and that series was a slugfest. If Miami's pitching can get on track and shut good teams out, like Rice and Georgia Tech, they could make a run and win the title.
Rice has another good team, and they have made it the past 3 of 4 years as well. If you are looking for a good championship, here are your two teams. Rice has a great hitting team, and one of the top pitching squads in the nation. If they can shut people out, they will be a huge power this world series.
Clemson won't do as well, looking back at their series with Oral Roberts. Maybe they had a off series, but I doubt it. They slimly won two games over not a great Oral Roberts team. They let them battle back, which isn't what the normal Clemson team would do. 11 appearances, no titles. They won't get one this year.
Fullerton isn't as much of a contender, even though they handled Mizzou pretty easily. But Cal Fullerton doesn't have their team back that gave them a Title in 2004. They don't have the caliber team to make it to the Title game. They may make it to the last four teams, though.
I would like to see UNC win it, but it won't happen. Too many good teams, and UNC doesn't have a good enough team to compete with the rest. Now, don't get me wrong, they had a great series againts a strong Alabama team. But they won't come out firing like they need to.
Everyone is saying that this is OSU's year, because they have reached the CWS two years in a row, and the last team to do that(Texas, '02, '03) won the title their second trip. Now, OSU has a pretty good team, just not their year, especially with Rice and Miami.
Georgia Tech has a very good chance this year, they have a great team, after rolling over C. of C. in the Super Regionals. They will be a big contender along with Rice and Miami. Look for Georgia Tech to advance to the Semis.
Georgia struggled in the first two games, while battling elimination in the last two. It looks like they got their troubles out of the way after the first game, and got back on track. They aren't good enough to win it, but look for Georgia to stun a few good teams.
My Semi-Finals are Miami, Rice, Georgia Tech, and Fullerton.
I will have Miami or Rice win it all.

GT and UNC have looked very strong in the early stages of the tourney, oddsmakers make fullerton and rice as the favorites though

I'll say Cal St- Fullerton, best pitching staff in the NCAA this year.

Judging from the game on ESPN yesterday, I would have to side with Rice. They have solid pitching.
