Vandy doesn’t consider basketball #2 (probably considers baseball #1).
Miss St. doesn’t consider basketball #2.
Florida likely doesn’t consider basketball #2.
Ole Miss doesn’t consider basketball #2.

That’s a dumb statement. Baseball is the #2 sport at a ton of P5’s, especially in the SEC.

You're nuts.

Of the schools you listed, only Vandy may consider baseball #2, because they don't do ANYTHING in football.

Florida has 2 NCAA basketball titles.

Baseball is a nice pastime at other schools, to get you through the summers. It is NOT on the pedestal LSU has put it on here. LSU dumped a ton of resources into the program, which enabled it to surpass every program you listed, and win 7 titles. If you go all-in, you don't backpedal and say "nah, it's no biggie" when things go wrong. Bama people would lose their fricking minds if football went sideways like this year in baseball, and they wouldn't try to justify it as "well it's football", they'd demand fixes and a return to prominence. Ohio State's coach is on the damn hot seat in football because they are slipping into 2nd place in the Big 10.

We shouldn't concede a damn thing in baseball. A Top 8 (National Seed) should be the expectation here. We opened as #2, so clearly the polls agree with that sentiment. It took Johnson all of 2 seasons to win a CWS here, he should be in contention annually.
