SEC Baseball Programs Ranked Since Field Expansion to 64 Teams

I did this last year and if I remember correctly go some decent feedback on the system. Feel free to recommend any tweaks or point out if I got any team's info wrong.
This mostly focuses on mostly postseason play because in the end, that is what matters. It doesn't factor in regular season titles. I went back to 1999, when the new regional/super regional system was put in to place. It is always hard to find when to start counting from, but this is IMO a big enough window to capture some history yet keep it somewhat relevant to how good programs are today. Anyway this is how it works:
Make a Regional = 0.5 Points (+0.5 bonus if you host)
Make a Regional Final = 1.0 Point
Make a Super Regional = 2.0 Points (+1.0 bonus if you host)
Make the College World Series = 4.0 Points
Make the College World Series Final = 4.0 Points
Win the College World Series = 8.0 Points.
The maximum points you can earn in a single season is 21 points.
1. South Carolina 114.0
2. LSU 112.5
3. Florida 74.0
4. Vanderbilt 60.0
5. Arkansas 48.0
6. Texas A&M 44.0
6. Mississippi St 44.0
8. Georgia 42.5
9. Ole Miss 35.0
10. Alabama 25.0
11. Tennessee 15.5
12. Auburn 10.5
13. Kentucky 5.5
14. Missouri 5.0
This does include 2016 and will update after games finish.

Interesting: LSU still #1 when you take away the 4 titles in the 90s

Alabama needs some work to do

soooo...what about the SEC programs who won a CWS title prior to 1999?

Missouri and a few more I think.

If you go look at Texas A&M's succes prior to 1999 you'll know exactly why OP stopped there. LOL The gap between MSU and Aggie keeps growing

that's when super regional play began. i actually don't see the problem with the time frame. the tournament expanded to 64 teams and added super regionals in 1999, so it makes sense given the parameters used

A&M made the postseason 11/13 years before 1999 when it was much more difficult to make the postseason.

This is worded weird. Shouldn't it be:
Make a Super Regional = 2.0 Points (+1.0 bonus if you host)
The way you have it means you get two for making it, one for hosting, plus another bonus for hosting.

You're right. Fixed it.
