1996 LSU Tigers???....

-- finished 52-17, 20-10 in the conference

-- national champions

2011 South Carolina Gamecocks???...

-- finished 55-14, 22-8 in the conference

-- national champions

-- first team in NCAAA history to go 10-0 in the post-season

-- set 2 NCAA records: post-season wins (10), consecutive CWS wins (11)

My vote goes to 2011 SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS. This team would rank among the best to ever win the CWS, too, imo.

Are there any other SEC teams you think are worthy of consideration?

Appreciate the love. Those teams for us just clicked.

I am not sure that team was the best USC team even. Things clicked for them, and they gelled at the right time.

I am sure there are several teams that were better that didnt win the title

I wanna say our overall post season win streak was (22) from 2010 to 2012 which is pretty good

That 2011 team had some freaky good defensive plays in the CWS against Virginia and Florida.

That 2011 team was awesome, but it's probably a stretch to label them as the best all-time SEC baseball team.

That South Carolina run was amazing.

Would love to see them back competing with the top of the league year in year out.

If you go by talent alone you gotta include '85 Mississippi State

LSU's 1997 team was better than the 1996 team.

57-13, 22-7 in the SEC, national champs

LSU's 2009 was arguably better too.

And "best" team is arbitrary. Some of the best teams in SEC history didn't win a national title. The nature of the sport results in the best team not always winning the national title. LSU and Vandy in 2013, for instance.

The Covid year Vols were the best Vols team in my lifetime.

Vols don’t belong in this conversation, for Gods sake y’all just got your 1st number 1 ranking in school history.
Keep quiet for a minute while the grown ups discuss baseball. Jeez

At the very least, they're the best SEC team to never win it all.

The 1997 LSU team if we're talking hitting.

2011 South Carolina was just incredible in the way they played defense and always had the clutch hit.

2019 Vanderbilt once Rocker was going rolled almost everyone in the postseason.

2000 LSU baseball was pretty awesome. 52-17 overall, 19-10 in conference. Undefeated in post-season play. Outscored opponents in post-season play 146-57.

and include the 1989 State team that was actually better than the 1985 team.

And neither won the CWS.

Also the 2013 Vandy team was absolutely loaded and did not make it to Omaha.

So you think a team that didn’t make it to Omaha, much less win a national championship, should be included in the discussion for best SEC team ever??

2013 Vandy team was 26-3 in conference and just loaded with talent. Somehow lost in super.

Vandy has had several teams better than the 2 that won it but it's college baseball. It's all about getting hot at the right time.

Sully has had 4-5 teams better than the 2017 team that won the CWS.
