The question should be: Does Alabama or Mississippi State have a better baseball program?
Idk how Auburn fits in this category. Other than a few high profile players, they have nothing compared to UA or MSU.

Auburn is clearly the winner here
Indeed. I'm surprised he even had the fortitude to include us since it must be so embarrassing for them.
I do note, however, that he left out LSU and UF.

Go ahead and get Auburn out of the picture. Congrats that bama is better at some things but lets tell the whole picture
State has an overall better all-time winning percentage.
State has more tourney, super regional, and CWS appearances.
State has a higher winning percentage in SEC Tournament
State holds the top ten attendance record, the most attended game in the CWS, the most attended Super Regional Ever, and 23 of the top 25 crowds ever to watch a college baseball game on campus

I'm not sure if any of you have read Polk's wiki page, I had not. Damn it is impressive, you don't fully realize it until you see it in writing.

the only advantage bammer has over state is regular season championships and the great majority of those championships came when absolutely nobody cared about college baseball

State's most prominent are probably Ron Polk, Raphael Palmeiro, Jonathan Papelbon, Buck Showalter, Will Clark, Bobby Thigpen, Boo Ferris.

They also don't have this. State has 16 conference championships, not 10.

I just know the majority of bammers regular season championships came back in the 30's, 40's and 50's. Back when nobody cared about college baseball. Bama baseball hasn't been very good in modern times outside of a 5 or 10 period under Jim Wells
Posted on 2/26/15 at 10:43 am to Irons Puppet
They've had Palmeiro, Will Clark and Papelbon and I feel like I'm forgetting a really big name.

Palmeiro and Clark had good careers, but one will be known for steroids and Clark had some average stats (280 HR). Neither will be HOF selectees. The "Big Hurt" is already in, Hudson has a chance, and Bo was considered a HOFer if he would have stayed with the game only.

The all time stats are close between MSU and Bama but I give MSU the nod because they've been stronger and built up those stats over the modern history of college baseball from the 70s onward. Auburn baseball can't hold either school's jock strap and is only notable because they've had a few big time MLB stars.

Hudson 214 wins, Papelbon 35, OK. How many relievers are in the HOF ?

Better All-Time overall is a 2 horse race.
...Mississippi State based on overall win %, 10 more NCAA regionals, 2 more Super Regionals, 4 more CWS appearances.
what a coincidence that both programs came into the 2015 season with 2496 wins each.
Mississippi State
2496-1460-28 (.630%)
876-755-1 (.537%) in SEC play
10 SEC Championships
7 SEC Tournament Championships
34 NCAA Regionals
5 Super Regionals
9 CWS
1 National Runner-Up
NCAA Tournament Record 94-76 (.553%)
Alabama
2496-1517-23 (.621%)
910-743-4 (550%) in SEC play
14 SEC Championships
7 SEC Tournament Championships
24 NCAA Regionals
3 Super Regionals
5 CWS
2 National Runner-Up
NCAA Tournament Record 70-49 (.588%)
better All-Time in SEC play only would favor Alabama. 21 combined SEC Championships and higher all-time SEC win %. Mississippi State has 17 combined SEC Championships - reg. season/tournament.

Easy pick... It's BAMA
Bama's 1997 baseball squad was similar to LSU in football in 2011.
Beat LSU 28-2 and 12-2 on way to winning the sec tournament.
LSU got the last laugh as they won the CWS finale 13-6 over the Tide

Why are y'all arguing about who's the better 2nd tier baseball program?
