ive been following SEC baseball since the mid 1980s, and ive never once considered Crimson Tide baseball to be one of the best programs in the SEC during this time...conversely, it was a 3 year run during the 80s that is the only reason state college/starksville is considered a top level SEC program.

1983 Bama lost the CWSCG by one run (3-4) to Texas. Winning pitcher was a guy by the name of Roger Clemens.
Bama eliminated Barry Bonds and Arizona State to get to the final. Six players (FOUR pitchers) from 1983 Texas played MLB.
