There are seven teams within a game of first:

Auburn 14-7
MSU 14-7
Kentucky 14-7
Florida 13-8
Arkansas 13-8
A&M 13-8
LSU 13-8


Anyone's game at this point. One more win this weekend could've really put us in a great spot, but I think Auburn is just better than us.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. May not be an elite team in the league this year, but there are a bunch of good ones right on the same level.

So what do we have to do to win the *****? 2 of 3 vs A&M? Sweep UGA? 2 of 3 vs LSU? 7-2? That's a lot to ask. 6-3 is what I think it's gonna take to win it tho! Can we pull that off?

A&M is playing well. LSU has really good pitching. 6-3 would be a stretch.

My crystal ball say

Ky and Auburn will be tied pre tourney.

Lot of congestion, near the top.

Makes it fun, especially since we are in the mix.

A high 2 seed is probably pretty reflective of where this team should really be, at the end of the day. Without the injuries we are probably a national seed.

I think the injury luck evens out next year and we will probably field an elite team.

An elite team next year will have to be based on pitching for sure. We will lose 80-90% of our offensive production after this year.**

Or, it's self-validation for him. If I was going to be pissed, I'd be pissed at the Kentucky brass.

Pitching is what makes teams elite. I'll take my chances with a team like that all day. Then we also have Cannizaro Effect on the hitters.

Honestly,

I don't see us winning more than 1 at A&M this weekend. They're good.

We should sweep UGA, and LSU won't be a pushover.

I could see us going 4-5 over this stretch, or 5-4. It all comes down to LSU.

It's gonna be a tough and fun ride. I'm so damned happy to be in this position after our start, draftees and injuries.

All gravy. We are going to Hoover and a regional, when both of those looked like pipe dreams on March 20, 6 weeks ago today. I refuse to get mad about not winning the SEC or hosting a regional at this point. PERSPECTIVE

We are also about to have another high round draft pick to market. Possible back to back batting titles. Pretty obvious he'll top the league in bombs too. Then, we return a squad that can win a national championship.

It's looking pretty good right now.

We gotta sweep @ UGA & hope Pilkington gets us 1 each vs LSU & @ ATM

That's what I'm thinking also. My prediction is we go 1-2 at Texas A&M, 2-1 at Georgia, and miraculously go 2-1 against LSU to finish 19-11 and miss out on winning the SEC by a game.
