re: I don’t think they are taking 11 SEC teams

6. Bids won’t get stolen in 1 bid conferences and by default some of those conferences will get 2 teams in.

I think most people have argued things based on how things stand today. There are only 5 one-bid leagues where the conference leader would get an at-large bid if they are bounced out of the tournament and the CAA and Big East both have 1-2 teams that might get at-large bids anyway, so they might not even be 1-bid leagues anyway. Even if extreme chaos, there are no more than 5 bids being stolen. So, maybe 15 teams behind LSU won’t have to get at-larges, but it’s at least 10 and more likely 12-13. So, who are your 10-13 teams? Stop just comparing LSU to the other SEC teams. Now do TCU, KSU, UCF, Cincinnati, Ga Tech, Louisville, Coastal Carolina, Troy, UNCW, Charleston, James Madison, etc.

As to the SEC teams I have seen no one argue LSU ahead of Alabama. D1Baseball has SC and Vandy behind LSU. Historically teams with records like Florida’s do not make it in. LSU has the best non-conference results of any of those teams and is finishing stronger. There’s good reason to think at least 1-2 of those teams would be out before LSU. Even if they aren’t, there aren’t 10-15 at large teams behind LSU getting in from other conferences.
