This stat is an average of each school’s win % in conference play, across the 9 sports the SEC keeps track of W/L records, & at least 13 schools play in. Here’s the full breakdown:

No surprising that Vandy and Mizzou are the bottom dwellers

Anyone that questions Vitello is a moron.

Tournament time is part skill, part luck, and there’s nothing saying a team like Kentucky can’t suddenly get hot and randomly win the SEC tournament or something.

Unfortunately, some people only see individual wins and losses rather than the overall body of work.

Who’s going to Hoover? My family can’t make it until Sat but I’m planning on going on Wed if I can convince my buddy to take off work and go. For folks that have been, any tips or must do’s?

Planned on being there Wednesday and coming back down for every game we play but with this weather I’m not so sure now. I’m anxious to see what unfolds from a schedule perspective if this weather prediction holds up. Hoover week seems to go one of two ways every year, either the hottest week on earth or incessant rain delays. I’m torn because I want to see baseball in my personal life, but professionally I work in agriculture and live in north AL and we’re starved for rain right now so it’s much appreciated.

Facing single elimination with your next opponent the Vols, do you pitch your best guy tomorrow or save him?

That's a huge deal. Not only did we win, we crushed it. It ain't close.

Pretty good read here. I posted a few Tennessee specific quotes below. I feel like I have heard the "#1 overall seed never wins" narrative far more this year than I have in the past. I don't remember it being parroted as much last year during Arkansas' dominant run. I hope we can buck the trend. I'd almost weirdly enough consider us an "underdog" since most pundits seem to believe we're cursed before the post-season even begins.

21 numbers to know just before DI college baseball's postseason

13: All hail, the long ball. Thirteen members of the top-21 gang also appear on the list of the nation’s 50 leading home run producers. That includes Tennessee, Maryland, Texas, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest, all in the top six in homers. The journey to the College World Series might be taken four bases at a time.

137: Tennessee home runs, the most in college baseball since the BBCOR bat era dawned in 2011. The Vols also own a gaudy 49-7 record and the lowest earned run average in the nation by a ton; 2.37 with the next best back in the fog at 3.08. Any Omaha conversation must begin with a program that has never won a national championship and whose only runner-up finish was 71 years ago. But then there’s the Top Seed Curse to face. Tennessee will likely be the No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament and that honor has historically been like swimming in a lake with an anvil tied to your ankles. The last No. 1 seed to win the title was Miami — 23 years ago.
