Neither LSU nor Vandy had to go through a SEC season like we just did. To Win the SEC tournament we would have to use every arm and after this season our starters desperately need a break.The SEC tournament may have more talent than the CWS. I only care about the Regional so maybe it's just me.


I care about both. And I doubt that either of us are knowledgeable enough to compare our 2021 season with the 6 LSU seasons from the past 20 years.

Both would be nice but the reality is using our strength for the SEC tournament would doom us for the NCAA tournament. Because of Covid and the shorten MLB draft I can assure you that, while the SEC has always been talented, no season has matched the talent this year.
To be honest no one remembers the SEC tournament champion but they do remember the CWS Champion.

so the bullshite among the media polls started in full force today to paint USC as not worthy of a host.

the phaggits at D1 (this is a real who's who among Gamecock haters) dropped Carolina from the T25 from being ranked 21 after 2 losses to #4 UTK. UTK retained their 4 ranking after losing 1 game to USC. Gamecocks were 2-2 on the week.

meanwhile Gonzaga also went 2-2 on their week and rose in the D1 rankings from 17 to 14. Gonzaga is 3-4 vs T25 teams this season.

NCSU jumped up 7 spots after a 2-1 record last week landing at #16. NCSU doesn't have a win over #1 Arkansas or #4 Tennessee anywhere in its resume - or a sweep over #13 Florida - 3 spots ahead of the wolfpack in D1's new rankings.

Arizona State jumped up 4 spots from 25 to 21 after a 2-1 record last week. ASU's season record is 32-17 with a RPI of 31.

both unranked UMiami & unranked Nebraska entered the T25 at 24 and 20. Canes lost 1 game last week and Neb apparently established themselves worthy after winning a series at Michigan. Nebraska is 0-0 vs T25 this season.

and then there are the Gators - who went 0-3 last week and dropped from 9 to 13 by getting swept at #1 Arkansas. Florida is 6-12 vs T25 teams this season Gamecocks are 7-14. Florida's RPI is also 5 spots lower than USC's.

as you can see - anything that can be done will be done to negate Carolina's excellent RPI - that stands at 14th best in baseball.
