Can't argue results. Top 3 SEC programs per sport are(no personal opinion or affiliation were used when compiling this list, as each sports Top 3 are pretty clear-cut):

Basketball:
1. Kentucky - easy
2. Florida - Arkansas is quickly approaching
3. Ole Miss - 2 NCAAT appearances in 3 years #results
Honorable Mention - Arkansas
Worst in the West - Mississippi State(sowwy :( )
Worst in the East - Mizzou, such a shame how hard they hit rock bottom after the infamous shot from the Ole Miss legend, Derrick Millinghaus:



LSU has the talent and will be even more talented next season. Just don't like their coach, but I don't think many do.

Baseball:
1. Vandy - past champs, easy pick.
2. LSU/USC - both living on past NC's with LSU yet to win at the new park in Omaha. The past and their pre-season relevance get them the nod here.
3. Ole Miss - Broke the curse last season by beating the flagship university in Louisiana.

Honorable Mention: Florida
Worst in the West: Auburn
Worst in the East: Mizzou(this is becoming common)

Football:
1. Alabama - simply the best.
2. Ole Miss - Rebals were one of three SEC teams to ever attend the newly official NYE6 bowl game, Rebals have seen a steady incline since Freeze arrived, Rebals have beat every SECW team during his short tenure, and the Rebals are poised to make a huge run. Also the early favorites to sign the top class in 2016, so we know Freeze and Ole Miss are a legit contender now and have passed the "one hit wonder" label.
3. Mississippi State - took the college world by storm with fellow Rebal Landmass brothers. 10 win season with the return of thy Dak He15man Prescott. Also, one of three SEC teams to ever attend NYE6 bowl game.
Honorable Mention: Auburn. Wasted a year of Jeremy Johnson's career, but the era has begun.
Honorable Mention: LSU...will jump to #2 if Harris takes a big step this year.
Worst in the West: Arkansas...average more than 1 SEC win per season and respect will be given. Hype's fun and all, but that's all it is.
Worst in the East: State of Tennessee. Vandy post-Franklin has been a sad thing to watch. Tennessee is listed here because of their mighty fall post-Fulmer. Only three winning regular seasons in the past decade. One in the past seven. 34 years ago, they only had 3 SEC wins. Same number as this season.




I think it's great how only one SEC school is currently a top 3 program in multiple sports. Really keeps the conference balanced.

Breakdown:

Schools in a Top 3(sports they are included in):
-Ole Miss(football, baseball, basketball)
-Alabama(football)
-Kentucky(basketball)
-Mississippi State(football)
-LSU(baseball)
-South Carolina(baseball)
-Florida(basketball)

Schools making Honorable Mention:
-LSU(football)
-Auburn(football)
-Arkansas(basketball)
-Florida(baseball)

Worst in their division:
-Mississippi State(basketball)
-Mizzou(basketball, baseball)
-Auburn(baseball)
-Arkansas(football)
-Vandy(football)
-Tennessee(football)

We won the first ever title at TD Ameritrade and then went to the finals the next year. I imagine we lead in all-time wins in its short history.

Idiot.

The frick? We won the CWS the first year at the new park in Omaha. And we were runner-ups in the 2nd year of the new park.

Couldn't all this have gone in one of the other OM circle jerk threads?

Dude,
Ole Miss is NOT Top 3 in baseball. So far this season, they're "Worst in the West". That might change, but you don't get "Top 3" in the SEC and be dead last in the SECW.

Eh, State has had an impressive 3 seasons in Baseball. Super Regional - Omaha - Regional. I give that at least a tie. Vandy is #1, followed by State, LSU, and OM in no particular order.

Football list is just silly.
