LSU shouldn't be top 25. We are hot dog water. Can't hit, can't pitch, can't play defense. We aren't better than average in anything.

LSU is a good team. Coach mismanaged their pitching against the Hogs. I haven’t seen any other games but I have to think they will end up over .500 in the SEC

I agree, they do have a good team, but the schedule is brutal.

2-7 Record so far

vs #6 Vanderbilt
@ #5 Tennessee
vs #3 Texas A&M
@ #11 Alabama

6-6 would be good in those 12 games

@ Missouri
vs Auburn
vs Ole Miss

Have to go 7-2 or better to reach .500

The Yankees just completed a 4 game sweep of the Cheating Astros for first place in their division.

The Gators are one of those teams that even with the “eye test” shouldn’t be in the top 5, but they keep winning series. It ain’t pretty but they get the job done, and against some pretty damn good ball clubs so far. I don’t think they have a complete team that can make a deep run but it’s April 1st, lots of time for this team to get it together.

Who does Kentucky have to frick to get some respect in these rankings?

I’m also resigned to Georgia just being unranked all year despite having a really solid record. We are good enough to make the postseason but have enough flaws in our pitching staff to let D1 and BA off the hook in not recognizing us.

Don't lose a home series to Kennesaw State? I know the schedule is the schedule, but UGA, @MU, & @OM is about as easy a start as one can get in the SEC.

Why is Kentucky ranked so low?

It's all because of the series loss to Kennesaw State in the OOC. It is what it is. Keeping winning SEC games and it'll eventually not matter near as much.

They lost a home series in March to Kennesaw State and two of their 3 SEC series wins are against Missouri and Ole Miss.

This isnt me knocking on Kentucky, this is me stating what the poll voters may be thinking?

Georgia has lost 2/3 SEC series so far and was swept in one of them. So it will probably take a while for Georgia to get in the rankings discussion.

That's exactly what it is. I think our ranking is fair at this point given who we've played.

Worth noting we were out guys at SS (Grant Smith), CF (Nolan McCarthy), 3rd (Reuben Church), and I think one other I'm missing for that series. And Niman had his worst pitching performance of the season thus far (he's been pretty good since).

There fixed it for ya. I know, they didn't cheat as "good" as the Astros.

The same could be said about UF that as dropped several bad games. Feels to me like both UF and UGA should be around that 15 range with UF being a tad higher
