I have the UCLA@OSU game (the game before ours on Pac12 Networks) on in the background and caught the back and forth of the announcers.
Since the College World Series was established, a west coast team has always won in years ending in "8"--I suppose I must have heard this 10 years ago, but don't really remember it.

1948: SC
1958: SC
1968: SC
1978: SC
1988: Stanford
1998: SC
2008: Fresno State
2018: ???

More accurately, they were all from California, but I think the announcers were hedging their bets because OSU has won in the past and is tough this year.

So, it bodes well for all the west coast teams this year! :)
