Our overall wins in both sports easily places us in the "upper echelon" of the conference. To suggest otherwise is very, very silly.
No what is silly is to act as if wins means anything. Wins helps you get to the postseason.... and getting to the postseason is all that matters in those two sports.
Bama has the #7 basketball program in the SEC
Bama has the #9 baseball program in the SEC
There is nothing "upper echelon" about that. And to pretend that your team is in the upper echelon completely proves my original point: Bama fans are delusional when it comes to their success in these two sports. There is a myth that has permeated for quite sometime among bama fans that they are right up underneath Kentucky and right up underneath LSU all-time in basketball and baseball. It's not true. Not even close.

I don't know what measurement would lead you to automatically put Tennessee ahead of Alabama, but I agree we are 6a or 6b

I just can't buy into the idea that a team with
- winning record vs 13/14 members of a league
- 2nd most wins all-time in conference
- top half in NCAA tournament appearances
- #2 in conference titles
- #2 in conference tournament titles
.......is 9th in the league overall. I don't think we are in the top 3 or 4, but I think discounting all of that and solely ranking based on 1 national title vs 0 national titles or 6 CWS vs 5 CWS and ignoring all above isn't the right way to do it.
Difference of opinion in how to rank teams, I guess.

Overall wins don't mean anything?
This is getting ridiculous. Bottom line is that you had no idea Bama was ranked #1, #1 and #3 respectively in All Time overall wins, and now you're trying to backpedal to justify your own ignorance on the subject.
You thought I was talking about SEC wins only, and now you're trying to fit your long winded, pointless arguments into your narrative, and it just doesn't work.
Sorry.
