The 2011 NCAA College World Series Championship round is set.
One thing is certain, the SEC will be bringing home the hardware again this year as Florida and South Carolina swept through their respective brackets for the right to face off against each other.
And the stakes couldn't be any higher.
Here is a quick recap of each bracket championship game that sent the Gators and Gamecocks to tonight's Final Round, which is a best 2-out-of-3 format.
Florida Outs Vandy; In CWS Final
Florida is in the College World Series finals, which is right where most people in college baseball figured they would be all along.
The second-seeded Gators advanced with a 6-4 victory over Vanderbilt on Friday. Preston Tucker drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to offset a shaky bullpen that squandered a three-run lead.

Errors Help South Carolina Win in 13
The South Carolina Gamecocks are getting a reputation for being drama kings.
Adam Matthews scored in the bottom of the 13th inning Friday night after Virginia reliever Cody Winiarski botched two throws while fielding bunts, sending the defending national champions back to the College World Series finals with a 3-2 victory.
The wild finish came after South Carolina closer Matt Price worked out of bases-loaded situations in the 10th, 12th and 13th innings.
"I don't know where to begin," Gamecocks coach Ray Tanner said. "That game had so much involved in it. This game certainly could have gone either way, and we just kept hanging in there and we were fortunate to get a couple of breaks at the end."
