Seems possible that SEC may host 7 regionals with no other teams in NCAA tourney

LSU, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt are each 2-0 in Hoover, so it seems likely that the SEC will host seven regionals next week.
I think Kentucky is on the outside looking in right now, and Alabama probably needs to beat Florida to boost its RPI enough to get on the happy side of the bubble, depending on what happens in other conferences.

Even with a loss to Florida, I'd be surprised if we weren't a 3 seed somewhere

Can you explain the bolded part?
ETA: Never mind, I just got what you meant by that part. Slow coffee day

The league isn't super competitive competitive. It is a super top heavy. This proves it.

Im thinking Kentucky and Alabama will get in. Looking around the country, 500 in the SEC should be enough to get them the nod. But that is my opinion.

Midweek losses, coupled with being swept by South Carolina caught up to Alabama. Would need a win over Florida to make it now. So it's doubtful, and Gaspard is hopefully out. Because god knows he won't fire any assistant.

This would be analogous to the SEC having 7 teams in the NCAA basketball tournament, all being a 4 seed or higher. Pretty crazy.

Big 7.
If Bama and UK get in, Big 9.

Not at all. Top heavy is when two or three teams dominate the conference and are head and shoulders above everyone else.
When half the conference is outstanding and hosting regionals, that means the bottom half was competing against the best teams in the nation for HALF their schedule.
The SEC is not top heavy in baseball. It is dominant. (And no, I'm not conference nut-dragging - this doesn't mean Alabama is a great baseball team. It's just recognizing a dominant conference in baseball.)

Probably not IMPOSSUMBLE that that could happen.

If the SEC doesn't get 7 host sites, I would love to hear the argument for leaving one of the teams out.
Florida, State, and A&M are going to get national seeds. LSU, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt all have similar resumes. Head to head matchups are a clusterfrick with these 4 teams.

Losing to every directional school in the fricking state is what did UK in. Even with series wins over South Carolina and Florida.

Hopefully Alabama will make it.

The SEC has a real chance to get seven regional hosts but no other teams in the field of 64. Kentucky looks out of the race after losing Tuesday’s play-in game to Alabama and dropping to No. 63 in the RPI. The Crimson Tide is back up inside the top 60 (No. 58), but that’s still probably not good enough for an SEC team. Alabama needs a nice run in Hoover, and it suffered a setback witha 4-1 loss to Mississippi State on Wednesday. And now the Tide has to face Florida in Thursday’s elimination game. Good luck with that, Bama. If the Tide loses that game, it will likely miss the field of 64.
you might be the only one
