Assuming Alabama holds on against Auburn. That will make 5 SEC teams finishing with a 13-17 SEC record.

Committee is going to have a really tough decision ahead on these teams. SEC really cannibalized itself this season after the top 6 teams. Typically 13-17 SEC teams have like a 30-40% chance of making the tournament. Seems more like at least 3 of these 5 teams will probably make it in.

A record 10 SEC teams made it last year.

Is the conference more dominant this year?

How about a record 11 teams?

There's going to be a lot of debating on these teams:

South Carolina- decent overall record with some good wins; currently cratering right now.

LSU- solid overall record, a couple decent wins OOC (Texas and ULL, both ranked), defending national champ; lost series to Vandy, Fla, and Alabama (can't look good if you're trying to pick the best of the bunch).

Florida- great SOS and RPI, made the CWS Finals last year; barely over .500.

Vandy- good overall record, took the series vs LSU and Fla; swept by South Carolina and has lost the last 4 series.

Alabama- ok overall record, took the series vs LSU and South Carolina, also took series from Arkansas and Tennessee.

I might put Florida last, then LSU, then South Carolina, Vandy, Bama (last to best).

Mark Kingston does not deserve a NCAAT bid - he's earned a long overdue pink slip - to hell with his 13-17 SEC record in 2024 -

South Carolina baseball has lost 20+ regular season games for the sixth time in seven full seasons. It only happened twice the previous 17 seasons.

Also under .500 in conference play for the fifth time in nine seasons, which only happened four times the previous 31 seasons.

This could make for some very interesting Tuesday games in Hoover. Do Bama, USC, Vandy and Florida roll out their aces? With teams bunched that close and right at that seemingly magic number of conference wins, you have to treat these games as must win.

And those 5 teams could all potentially pull off a run in the Tourney. There is insane depth in SEC baseball.

Florida has been terrible all year. Leave them out. Everyone else gets in.
