SEC Baseball Standings Since 1992 Expansion

I think the LSU losses are missing a digit.

Also curious how S. Carolina has played so many more games. 100 more games than Florida.

For our instate limitations, that is decent for AU/UA. Embarrassing for UGA. They should be the king at SEC baseball.

USC would have the highest percentage

We were both very good in the 1990s before those limitations really started manifesting themselves. Auburn built their ballpark, which was beautiful and really state of the art, and had a chance to stick after Baird left. But Renfroe couldn't really keep it going and they hired 2 blah coaches after that in Slater and Pawlowski and then the insanity of Golloway and slipped back.

Alabama had a similar situation, though we stuck with Gaspard a tad longer post-Wells. Then we had Goff.

Butch and Bo are obviously buddies and very similar and have tried to build their rosters in similar ways. Butch has seemed to develop his kids a little better than Bo, though.

Big 6 confirmed.

I would actually argue that it is much tougher. Coach Perno let his success get ahead of him in GA, as he recruited heavily kids that ended up playing MLB instead of college ball. A lot of HS talent in GA go to the draft

That's why I specifically said the depth of talent. Metro Atlanta alone produced something like 35 kids who didn't go in the draft who signed with ACC/SEC/B12/B10 schools last year.

Now, it has the same issue in baseball as it has in basketball - a lot of those kids don't dream of playing baseball at Georgia. They are just as happy playing at Vanderbilt, Clemson, South Carolina, Tennessee, etc. But the depth of talent in the state is better than anywhere in the country outside of Florida, Texas and California. You can show up at a big high school on a random Tuesday night in Cobb or Gwinnett County and see 5-6 SEC/ACC players in one game plus a kid that will be drafted in the 1st round. The talent level is just absurd.

You are right, though, that the balancing act of signing a class in baseball is unlike any other sport. Your class can go from program changing to mediocre in 10 days depending on the draft, who drafts them and what their $ allocation is. No other college sport is like that.

Because Aggy sucks so badly its impressive to check in at #5

I don’t understand how Georgia is historically bad at baseball.

Same reason we are historically bad at basketball. Our ADs have never properly emphasized either and some bad luck. It is maddening. We should have sustained success in both sports. At least baseball is showing some promise (though not enough)
