Better All-Time Baseball Program. Bama, Auburn, or Mississippi State?

Case for Alabama:
Have been national runner up 2x in program history compared to Mississippi State being runner up once.
lead all-time head to head 211-174 over State and handily lead Auburn..
Have more SEC regular season titles (14) than Mississippi State (10) and Auburn (6)
Case for Mississippi State:
Have been to more College World Series than Alabama (9-5)
Case for Auburn: Hard to make a case? Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas, and Tim Husdson played there?
Alabama and Mississippi State have won 7 sec tournament titles. Auburn has won 3.
I gotta go with Bama on this one. 4 More sec regular season titles than State and 8 more than Auburn, being in the CWS championship game more times than State, and handily leading the all-time head to head outweighs having more CWS appearances.

The rest of the rant?- Mississippi State.

Cowbell City dude....
(but not by much)
edit: Now if you're talking strictly records and numbers as your criteria, you could make a case for Alabama.
If you're talking tradition, fan base and following, stadium, alumni in the majors, post season appearances, Coach Polk, etc. - it's State....but again not by too much....
They're almost equal. Bama went to the finals in '97, State very recently. State's been to Omaha more times, but that should not be the sole criterium....

Like most things, recent events will sway most.

Yep, Miss St. Don't have a Dawg in the fight either.

State hasn't won regular season sec title since 1989

Good point. Didn't realize that.....

Auburn is clearly the winner here

State. Unfortunately Auburn has sucked since Baird retired.

State

Outside of just records, state probably wins the alumni/following war and we have all 10 of the top 10 attendance records.
I'm completely biased and say State but I honestly didn't realize Bama was that close in comparison.

Best all time academic institution: Havard, Yale, Bama?

Bama. Next question.
Eta: never heard of those other two, did you just make them up?

I do not think anyone on a National Level thinks of Bama as a Powerhouse BB Program. Some argument for Miss St and more high profile players from AU than the other two.

None have won a Nattie. So even.

What are you talking about Ron Polk is the father of college baseball. MSU has been too consistent over the long haul
Still can't believe he took the UGA job
Bama next, pretty decent in the 80's and late 90's when they had that decent little run, not much lately
Auburn outside of Hudson, Olsen and Bo Jackson, pretty lame
