Florida Wins The SEC Tournament, 3 SEC Teams To Host Regionals

Florida won the SECĀ  Tournament with a 4-1 record including a victory over Vanderbilt to win the championship. The Gators are now the number 1 ranked team by Baseball America followed by Virginia, Vanderbilt and South Carolina. The Gamecocks dropped from number 1 to the 4th spot after losing 2 out of 3 at Hoover. All 4 teams will be home in the regionals and if they survive they all should get a home bid in the super regionals.

South Carolina (45-14) will play the number 4 seed Georgia Southern (36-24). Stetson (41-18) number 2 will play will play the 3rd seed N.C. State (34-25). If both South Carolina and Clemson win their regionals the two bitter rivals will play against each other in the super regionals. That will be a hard ticket to get.

Florida (45-16) will play the 4th seed Manhattan (34-17). Then number 2 seed Miami, Fl. (36-21) will play the 3rd seed Jacksonville (36-22).

Vanderbilt (47-10) will take on the number 4 seed Belmont (36-24). The number 2 seed Oklahoma St. (35-23) will take on the 3rd seed Troy (42-17).

LSU did not make the field. Arkansas was the highest rated RPI team (14) to not get a home regional. Instead the NCAA gave a home regional to UCLA with an RPI of (34) and the Bruins also got the number 1 seed. Sounds a little fishy to meet. Must mean the committee has a few members to many from the west coast.

St. Johns and Dallas Baptist got bids over LSU because they finished higher in their conferences. The committee says they are getting away from using the RPI so much and are now looking at more how teams finished in their conference. Excuse me but I think those 2 teams would finish dead last if they played in the SEC. It will be interesting to see how they do in the regionals.
