I honestly think it’s Arkansas. I hate to admit it but if you look at that team top to bottom, they are a beast.

I would go with vandy. Maybe just because they are the one we haven’t played out of the top 4 sec so they have less weaknesses in my mind. I definitely would like another crack at Arkansas with a healthy pitching staff but it probably won’t happen

Hmmm I’ll have to do some research. How long before the season starts?

Gotta wait to see those Regional & Super brackets.
Luck is key.

I'll say Vandy slightly above Arkansas, then MSU.

In order: (1) Vandy; (2) Arky; and (3) State.

I think State has enough wildcard in them to make a run to the final but Vandy and Arky are more complete.

I also think Ole Miss has the talent to make a run to Omaha and win a couple.

I’d love to throw LSU in there if some pitchers get healthy, but even if that were true, the line-up is so weak on the bottom end of the order, there is no way. I doubt LSU makes it to a Super, let alone to Omaha.

I think Arkansas and Vandy.

Other SEC teams may make a run, but those have the best shot. Also, this year I wouldn't put it past the selection group to try to get all the best SEC teams on the same side in the Omaha bracket.

Does OM have the pitching?? Didn’t look like it. Mashers, yes.

Vandy, I haven’t watched any of their games but saw some highlights of Kumar Rocker pitching and he looked scary....

Who knows,,,it’s baseball.

You have to make the tournament to have a shot at winning the natty.

Well, LSU found themselves in a bad situation with all those pitching injuries. MSU had same issue few years ago. Damn, it always seems to come in bunches doesn’t it?

I just hope MSU makes it deep enough to meet Arkansas. I think we’ll win our regional and if we win the super then CWS here we come again.

Not predicting wins over the hogs but if we face them again it means we are in the CWS and on a neutral site. Baum Stadium is too hard to win in.

I don’t watch the other teams until we play them. I think State has a great shot. Everyone in our batting order can do damage, and we will destroy mediocre pitching. And now we have 3 legitimate starters and some nice options out of the pen. But we were similarly good that year we got smoked by AZ in the super at Dudy Noble, so who knows.

Mississippi State looks pretty damn impressive right now. Having 2 elite starting pitchers as well as a killer lineup is a nice recipe to win it all.

No fricking kidding. When that happened to y’all I thought it was an anomaly. Now it happens to us 2 years later.

We went 5 weeks with Ginn not healthy plus we couldn’t find a Sunday starter. Ginn is healthy now and Peyton Plumlee is back 100% for Sunday’s and it’s making a huge difference.

I honestly think all 3 could do it. It's crazy how the SEC has 3 of the top 4 teams in the nation, imo. UCLA is the only other team I'd put on the same level.

Should be no shock. We are the best baseball conference period from top to bottom. There is nobody in the Sec top 10 that can’t get on a roll and I dare say even 11-14 if it were posdible. The conference is so good that the bottom 4 have faced nothing but a grind.
