It's baseball. Weird shite happens.

That said, I personally think Vandy got overrated from their late heater and Texas' record didn't match their statistical output.

Georgia just flat out shite the bed. No real explanation there.

Couldn't agree more. Vandy spent exactly 0 weeks ranked as the #1 team in the country and only 2-3 weeks ranked in the top 10. They were a borderline host 4 weeks before the SEC tournament and a borderline top 8 national seed before taking the series in Knoxville.

Considering they hit .264 as a team with putrid power numbers, to say they were overseeded at #1 is an understatement. Still doesn't excuse losing to Wright State, but plenty could see this coming from a mile away.

Yesterday, Ben McDonald said “This sport is unique. If LSU plays UALR in football; they’ll beat them 100 out of 100; but in baseball anything can happen and that’s what makes it great”.

Don’t think it’d be that hard since UALR doesn’t have a football team

As the #3 seed we eliminated the #1 seed (Clemson) in our region and made the regional final. Pretty sure we’re the last SEC team to get in, so I believe we overperformed.


State as a 3 seed eliminated the hottest team in the country that had won 27 straight games. We overperformed as well imo

It's statistics the more teams you get in the more that have a possibility to lose.

Vandy, Texas, and Georgia got fraud checked as national seeds.

The rest of the league has been fine.

This. Texas wasn’t the same after losing ace (Spencer) and statistically they had something like 560 strikeouts. Lived and died off the long ball and just couldn’t drive runs in.

It was a bloodbath for SEC teams this weekend though.
