8 of the top 15 are SEC. What a bloodbath.

Hang on to your hats, Vols fans. Of the Top 25, Vols host series with #3 LSU and #13 SC. Plus a midweek against Kansas State #20. Vols travel to #15 Auburn, #4 Florida, and #6 Vandy. The Florida, Vandy, and SC series are the final three series of the year.

They got no ****ing idea. Put the pot on to simmer… check it about first of March. Take a measure at that point…and reaccess. Autocorrect is a failed AI experiment.

Seven of the top eleven from the SEC. Looks like a tough year for all SEC teams.

So basically like every other year in the SEC? Lol. Nothing new.

Well two something’s new. Texas and Oklahoma.

Without question the idea of preseason rankings is the most farcical when applied to college baseball. It gives us something to talk about, two months leading up to the season.

…next year.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

…next year.

This is next year, 2024.

This is next year, 2024.

Tx and OU aren’t in the SEC until end of July 2024.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

And the football season starts in Aug/Sept 2024

Sorry. I thought this was a baseball conversation about preseason rankings. My bad.
