USC after hanging around between number 3 and 7 for most of the year finally made it to number 1 the final week of the regular season. Now can they hang onto it for about 4 or 5 weeks. It will be tough. This team just continues to amaze me. Everyone knows about all the injuries. But there are several key players that have not been as consistent offensively this year as they were last year. Oh yeah and how about the pitching staff. I was worried about the pitching staff all year but they have hung in there and should be in pretty good shape going in to SEC tournament play.

The SEC tournament should be outstanding with 3 of the top 5 teams in the nation (South Carolina, Florida & Vanderbilt) for most of the year battling for the championship. I know it would be great to win the SEC tournament but not at the expense of wearing your arms out before the regionals. Of course I don’t think the coaches think that way. Being realistic they can probably win the regionals without using there best arms. The super-regionals is another story. Aaron Fitt of Baseball America expects the SEC to get 3 national number 1 seeds along with the ACC, Texas and one team from out west. He also picked Ray Tanner as his coach of the year and Michael Roth as his pitcher of the year. Sounds like good picks to me.
