re: Alabama in top 3 sports

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.

in baseball, I'd put Alabama, all-time, behind LSU, Vanderbilt (recent success but CWS title is a trump), Georgia (CWS title in 1990), State, Florida and Arkansas.

Basketball is tough. Alabama has the SEC conference titles but their postseason success is a pretty big knock. I think you'd have to put them behind Kentucky, Florida, LSU, and Arkansas and about even with Tennessee
