There are 8 teams left in the SECT....

Seven of them are in the coaches poll top 10. That is incredible. Bama is the odd man out and they are not even in the top 25.

Based on the pairings designed to keep too many SEC teams out, winning the SECT might be tougher than winning the CWS.

That is quite amazing. Really.

And there are no ACC teams in the tournament. **

And even Bama is capable of beating anyone in the field. They have excellent pitching.

This tournament is totally up for grabs. I don't see how you can say there is a "favorite" to win. If you played this tournament 10 times, you could easily have 7-8 different winners. The SEC is that good.

Yeah, that's true ... the SEC is good top to bottom with the exception of the teams who didn't get to go, and even they could occasionally beat the top team if the stars aligned correctly. .

It's pretty remarkable and obviously there has been nothing like it before.

It's funny, looking at the seeding numbers on the bracket and you have to do a doubletake to determine if the numbers beside each school is their ranking or SECT seed.

There seems to be 3 teams way ahead of the rest of the field though. Perhaps 4 if you include South Carolina.

I do not include South Carolina. And I disagree that the Top 3 are way ahead. Look at A&M's struggles with Vandy and Florida's with LSU.

We won the league, but I'm fairly certain teams 4 through 7 are more than capable or beating us once or twice in a given week.

every given sunday

There is just something about A&M, Florida, and USCe

That leads me to believe they may be slipping. None of those teams finished as strong as they should. I think these teams peaked early. I would not be surprised to see any of them bow out in a regional or fail to win a super. Or any of them could win the damn thing (I don't think A&M will. I just don't think they have "it.")

Vandy continues to quietly hang around.

Us, OM, and LSU are the best in the league (even after OM lost 2 of 3 to A&M)... and any one of us can beat anyone else. OM top to bottom does not have the depth at hitting, but their pitching is solid and, for the most part, keeps them in games. LSU is just plain scrappy.... you better not let them hang around. Until out 3 is recorded in the 9th inning, they can rally with the best of them. We are the best all-around team, top to bottom. But even with that said, there is still very little separation between any of us.
