Notes
- The Trojans joined the California Intercollegiate Baseball Association in 1927, having played their earlier seasons as an independent. This conference was essentially a division within the Pacific Coast Conference and its 1960 baseball season successor, the Athletic Association of Western Universities. This conference, through expansion, became the Pacific-8, Pacific-10, and finally the Pac-12 Conference.
- Collegiate Baseball began team rankings in 1959. Baseball America began during the 1981 season. The Coaches' Poll (published by USA Today's Sports Weekly and ESPN) began publishing its rankings during the 1992 season.
- Includes conference playoffs, which occurred between divisional champions from 1947–1959, and in multiple formats from 1970–1978 and 1995–1998. CIBA also held a championship series between its division winners in 1943. One-game playoffs for the right to advance to these events are also included in the totals.
- Postseason play involving the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship began in 1947.
