I believe A&M and Florida that high are both rather odd

Florida always starts off in the top 5…..I’d rather be at #5 this time of year than #1. LSU is going to be an interesting watch this year.

It’s good to see you around FG!
I hope all is well this Christmas season?

I honestly think you could draw those top 5 SEC teams out of a hat to determine your preseason top 5.
Wake is going to be tough but I don’t know how deep they are? Sure they can go toe to toe with anyone on a Friday night, but what about the rest of the weekend?
Stanford’s rotation is a big question mark.
Louisville will be tough and Vandy is what it is.
I can’t wait for baseball season!!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

LSU is loaded but you still have to put all of those pieces together and get them to mesh.
Especially the new additions.

So I thought the Matthews kid from Stanford got drafted, I was wrong.
Their rotation will at least be strong on the front end.

I just want to finish in the top 8. Let somebody else carry the pressure of being #1.

I thought this was just an SEC poll at first.

Nobody had any idea how good our pitching was going to be.

Wow

Has the SEC always been considered the dominant conference?

Doesn't matter where you are at the start, it's where you are at the end that counts. Remember how great we were last year but still came up just one game short? That's why they play the game

 

[MAD]

Doesn’t it seam a bit flawed that a team can be #1 in the polls for the entire season, win both the SEC Regular Season and SEC Tournament. Become the #1 overall seed in the Tournament, but can’t finish any higher than 9th in the country if you lose one series in the Super Regionals?

Lots of pressure to produce for LSU. Their fans expect no less than a CWS title.

I think it’s 5 of top 7 and 6 of top 9. But still pretty stout.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Has the SEC always been considered the dominant conference?

Good question. I’m guessing yes but I don’t really know

 

[taylorvol]

I’m so glad TN isn’t #1. Just way too much pressure and unreasonable expectations. Ole Miss peaked at the right time with barely even making it to Regionals. IIRC, they were the “last team in“. Baseball is such a tough post season sport.

 

[taylorvol]

It will be a pressure cooker for LSU. i wonder how the big portal gets will “fit in” as clubhouse culture is so important during a long baseball season.

 

[OldTimer]

Has the SEC always been considered the dominant conference?

For a long time it was the teams in California, Arizona and Texas that dominated along with university of Miami. I’m guessing the SEC became dominant in the last 15 years or so as a conference. I think Georgia may have been the first SEC team to win the CWS in 1990 followed by LSU winning 4 or 5 times in the 90’s after Georgia. That was probably the start of SEC dominance.

Still think Jay Johnson, LSU coach, is not going to get it done. Yes, he's got players, but last season he seemed out of his league. We'll see.
