Round 2
- Miami (FL) became the first #1 seed to go 0-2 in Regional play since San Diego in 2007.[6]

Super Regionals

- LSU lost a Super Regional in Baton Rouge for the first time (had won previous five).[5]
- Florida State scored 35 runs in two games against Stanford, tied with LSU (2008) for the most runs in a Super Regional and the most in a 2-game Super Regional (previous record was 26).[5]
College World Series
- Stony Brook was the first College World Series participant from the America East Conference and is the first from New York since St. John's in 1980.[11]

- South Carolina becomes the first team since the '96, '97, '98 LSU Tigers to return to Omaha with a chance to defend their back-to-back Championships. Southern California is the only program in CWS history to win three consecutive CWS titles, or more, (1970-1974),(5).
- South Carolina entered the World Series riding two significant postseason winning streaks.
- Longest College World Series winning streak (10 CWS games) in NCAA history.[13]

- For the first time since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1999, neither team that started 2-0 in the CWS was a national seed. (Arizona and Arkansas)[17]
- As a result of the 20 June 2012 Game 10 rain delay, South Carolina will become the first team, since Georgia did so in 1987, to play all or part of two games on the same calendar day at the CWS when they face Arkansas in the night game (Game 12) on the 21st. The last team to play two full games, in the College World Series, on the same day was Michigan on 2 June 1980.[18]
