College Baseball Preseason Predictions

I don't know about yall but I'm super excited for the start of college baseball. Supposed to have absolutely gorgeous and perfect weather across the southeast for opening weekend.
This years Florida team is loaded and I think they are the clear favorites in not only the SEC but the favorites to also win it all. This team is just loaded top to bottom especially in the pitching department so I don't know how you can't pick them to win it all. If Florida doesn't win it all this year, then I don't know if they ever will.
Texas A&M should be pretty good this year as well. Their hitting should be just as good and their pitching should be much improved as long as they keep them healthy.
Vanderbilt should be pretty good this year as well because the talent is always there and Tim Corbin is one of the best in the business.
LSU should have a pretty dominant pitching staff but they will have to replace 8 of the 9 starters from last year. The talent is there but these new starters are very young. Pitching will have to carry LSU for most of the season but if this team starts to get hot with their bats, then they will be a team that you do not want to run into in the postseason.
I think Mississippi State could be a team that could be a surprise this year and have the chance to take down the 4 powerhouses from last year along with South Carolina and Arkansas.
Here is my preseason top 25 and predictions for the SEC and predictions for regional hosts and my predictions for Omaha. I'll put rankings every week. Enjoy opening weekend everyone and enjoy the year!

Vandy is preseason #3 and you don't have us going to the CWS. What?????????
Posted on 2/17/16 at 6:04 pm to morriscat2
I predict Vandy in CWS until proven otherwise
Posted on 2/17/16 at 6:10 pm to sta4ever
If lsu finds their bats they will be very tough to beat... Thats a big if!!
And vandy should make the cws but baseball is always incredibly hard to predict

LSU baseball tradition is second to none. And while playing LSU can be a fierce contest, it is ferocity with mutual respect. I cannot say the same for Vandy's arch baseball rival.

Biancos teams always do best with no expectations. We get some pitching this year we didn't have last year due to injuries. Also return 70% of our at bats. I love the way it's shaping up.
But WAOM lets go ahead and clear that up before the season starts

Posted on 2/17/16 at 7:02 pm to sta4ever
I'm confused. Is Vanderbilt #3, #7 or #9?

A&M's schedule is tough (in conference) and we're breaking in a lot of new starters. I predict a top 4 SEC finish (around 19 wins) and a borderline national seed. If guys meet expectations then we should return to Omaha after a few year drought

I'm not going to say I agree, but I will say I do find it astonishing that so many people here actually like College Baseball. Maybe that's due to the original SEC geographic region having only one team until the 90s.
Personally, I think College Baseball is boring. If the Aggies end up making the CWS and winning it all, you won't find me becoming a fan. I generally don't give a frick about baseball in general, much less College Baseball.
