It should be the top 6 teams top 3 from west and top 3 from east. 1 and 2 get a bye all single elimination, or just eliminate it all together and air the 2018 football season instead of baseball.

actually i don't GAF about the SEC tournament. It's not important... Getting to OMAHA is important but not sure you would know much about that.

I wouldn’t be opposed to going back to 8 teams. Whether we go back to top 4 in each division, or top 8 overall... I could be swayed either way.
The current 12-team single-double-single elimination format isn’t ideal imo.

They need to invite all 14 and get rid of double elimination
No one has the pitching to play a double elimination format a week before regionals.
The SEC title game becomes a watered down pitching affair which sucks.
I wish they would change the CWS format.
The championship series should be with top pitchers going starting Game 1.

Just take the basketball model IMO.

I agree it should change. Maybe do top 10 teams tho

I don't like 4 teams playing one game and going home. I don't fully understand the pod system that ACC uses but everyone gets at least 3 games, I think. It's a round robin through pod play and winners of each and I believe, plus 4th best play semis on Saturday. I could get behind something like that. That would only work at Hoover though for the RVs.

This is my idea.
Make it single elimination and all of the teams qualify for it.
They can keep the divisions. Winner of each division gets a first round bye.
Wednesday
Game 1 — 11A —— #3 vs. #14
Game 2 —. 3P —— #4 vs. #13
Game 3. — 7P — —. #5 vs. #12
Thursday
Game 4 — 11A — — #8 vs. #9
Game 5 —. 3P — — #7 vs #10
Game 6 —. 7P — —. #6 vs. #11
Friday
Game 7 —. 9A — — #1 vs. G4 (W)
Game 8 —. 1230P — #2 vs G5 (W)
Game 9 —. 5P — — G1 (W) vs G6 (W)
Game 10 — 830P —. G2 (W) vs. G3 (W)
Saturday
Game 11 — 3P — — G7 (W) vs G10 (W)
Game 12 — 7P — — G8 (W) vs G9 (W)
Sunday
Game 13 — 3P — — Championship
G11 (W) vs. G12 (W)
Maximum of 4 games played by any team that makes it to the final. 3 games max for the top two teams. Teams don’t wear out their pitching staffs to win it. Still have 13 games played total, so plenty of baseball for the fans.
To me this is a WIN WIN for everybody.

I'm not sure why you're saying this during what has been an extremely entertaining SEC tournament but...okay.

It's been a great tournament. But a 14 team double elim tournament just before the NCAA's is a bit much.

Perhaps. But I'm having a hell of a good time watching. Granted, I didn't watch the first four games. They could be eliminated for sure.
