The Official Tennessee @ Florida Series Thread (Fri. May 3rd Game 1 3PM EST, Game 2 after SECNET+) (Sat. May 4th 6:30PM EST SECNET+)

I think Arkansas gets bumped to 1 and we get bumped to 2.

1 Arkansas
2 Tennessee
3 A&M
4 Clemson
5 Kentucky

The normally don’t like to reward a team for losing a weekend series.
My guess…
Tennessee
Arkansas
Clemson
Kentucky
A&M

Should we become number 1, the staff has been through it before so hopefully more adept at it. Embrace the challenge.

If we hadn’t lost to Lipscomb, I think we would clearly be #1. 2-2 just feels weird to move to the top spot, but I realize the top teams lost too. The most important thing is that we just get back to consistent hitting.

 

[Drewbydoo]

LOL. We still need a full week of hate for F Vandy. Let the freaking bat girls get their ABs against Queens for all I care. Spend the week concentrating on embarassing Candy.

Who are the queens?

 

[AllThingsTN]

I think Tennessee will stay 3. Went 2-2 for the week

I would be 100% fine being 3. But we will more than likely be 1

Nobody in the ranking system will give a damn about a midweek lose to Lipscomb a few day before another SEC road series win.

But if it does keep us out of the number 1 spot great. I hope we lose to Queens before embarrassing Candy next weekend If it keeps us out of the top spot.

After dropping our first SEC series on the road, we’ve won 7 straight series. We can’t hide anymore.

Ole Miss second baseman just threw his glove at an Auburn game tying single as it flew over his head.

That's not legal!!!!!

Not sure what the consequence is though

 

[vol66]

Could be free baseball…Ole Miss 9, Auburn 9, B9…1 on, 2 outs for Auburn.

 

[fryeguy93]

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Commentator said automatic triple...idk

 

[fryeguy93]

Karma as Auburn wins it on 3 wild pitches to bring the runner all the way around the basepaths.

 

[vol66]

Congrats to Auburn! 10-9

 

[txbo]

LOL Rebels.

 

[Orange.]

Arky loses 7-4, UK leads the league heading into the last two weeks and we are probably the #1 team in the country tomorrow.

Arky has no respect for the game.

 

[txbo]

3 passed balls. Lol.

 

[Vtonerider]

Not imo. Arkansas still has Mississippi State and A&M (2nd/3rd teams in the West) so they are bound to drop some more games. Kentucky gets the 5th/6th best teams in the East to finish (Florida and Vanderbilt). If we want to win the East outright then we have to play 2 games better than Kentucky. We could go 4-2 and them go 3-3 and we still tie. Yeah we would own the tiebreaker but I don’t want to be “co-anything” with them. I want to win outright.

So there isn't an outright tiebreaker in the regular season?

1 Arkansas
2 Tennessee
3 A&M
4 Clemson
5 Kentuckya

After dropping 2 to Ky?

Right. Tiebreaker applies only to Hoover seeding.

 

[VolPack22]

Just for seeding purposes. Otherwise any schools tied for the championship (conference or division) get credit for it.

 

[VolPack22]

Yeah I think our lose to Lipscomb outweighs those two losses because their rubber match was within a few runs. Number 2 team losing 2 games on the road to the 8th ranked team is better than losing to lipscomb at home and another loss to an unranked bubble team. Objectively, that’s how I would vote it.

 

[taylorvol]

Actually, TV specifically said he removed Backus because he thought Robin was a better matchup in what would have been Backus’ next AB.

That’s just CTV not throwing Backus under the bus.

 

[taylorvol]

He turns 20 in October…he has to turn 21 before the draft next year so I think we have him for a full 3 years regardless!

Curley is draft eligible next year. Antiqua isn’t. I think the other poster was referring to Curley. Y’all were both right but were just talking about different players.

I get your point, but, the reason top teams drop midweeks is they are playing alot of backups and getting non weekend pitchers work

Yeah I was talking Antigua…that’s prob why @preacherman20 was also taking Curley…wires got a little crossed I guess!
