Regardless of todays outcome, we should jump Vandy in the National seeding for tournament.

They have no argument for being ranked ahead of us.

We lost 2 series both to top 5 teams.
Vandy lost 3 series, UGA, Ole Miss and UF.

We won the East, have more wins, and are playing for the tourney championship.

Not disagreeing at all however with all polls in all sports, your ”past” plays a huge factor..........

I wouldn’t get your hopes up. There are a lot of pre-conceived notions about Vandy that the experts refuse to change.
I agree, that on past history We probably won't jump them but we should.

Vandy has no argument to be ahead of us, even if we lose today.

Only thing Vandy has over us is the national recognition of the 2 pitchers.

Name recognition is a strong part of the polls.

Clemson's softball team got screwed, as they had to travel to Alabama. So, it can happen. If we win today, and do not move up, then ot time to drop the SEC tourney.

Then Georgia should be ranked ahead of Vandy

I could see the Committee disregarding the SECT and use their past and 2/3 as justification for seeding them above us since the resumes are pretty close. Not saying it's right....

Win today, which we will, and we will be the 2. Otherwise we will be the 4. To also play devils advocate, Vandy is higher in RPI. Have more Top 50 wins and beat us 2 out of 3. Not to mention, we won the east because they had a rainout. They had the tie breaker. But, WHEN WE WIN TODAY we take away a few of those variables. Also the tourney does not mean much unless you win it. So, we control our own destiny.

As far as the post season goes, it does not really matter which seed you are as long as you are a top 8. Next week, 2 or 4 seed will not mean squat.

Vandy always gets the benefit of the doubt in baseball -- probably because it's literally the only sport they don't suck at.
