In beating LSU in Game 2 of the 2017 College World Series Finals to win the national championship, Florida became the third FBS/Division-I school to win a national championship in baseball (NCAA Tournament), football (AP, BCS or CFP) and men's basketball (NCAA Tournament). The Gators won the national title in football in 1996, 2006 and 2008, and in men's basketball in 2006 and 2007.
