Thoughts on new SEC Baseball Tourney Format

I understand the need to add the two additional teams; but I'm not sure about the first round (Games 1-4), the Semi-finals (Games 16-17) being single elimination when the rest of the tourney (except the Champ. Game - I understand why that is single elimination) is double elimination.

I think I like it better than the set-up last year. Will wait to see for sure

When you first look at it, your thoughts are all like...
But then we you read about it and see that the top seeds get to coast if they win their first game you end up like...

I don't like the fact that 4 teams are going to go home on Tuesday. One and done in a baseball tournament is a silly notion.
I don't. If you can't make the top 8, maybe you don't deserve to make the tournament? This isn't 6 year old tee-ball.

It was ten last year and twelve this year, so top eight isn't the cut off

Pretty much the worst tourney setup of all time. Adding 2 teams to 10 was a solid idea. Adding two more to 12 is not so solid of an idea.
Generally speaking the SEC is going to get 7-9 teams in the NCAA postseason. This should be the focus. Having a 10 team double-elim tourney gives those teams 7-10 a chance to play at least 2 games and show the committee they can play with the top of the conference, ergo the top 64 of the country. Teams 11 & 12 have no post-season shot so it doesn't matter.

It's just an attempt to not allow the NCAA to use the "you didn't make your conference tourny" arguement when selecting teams for regionals.

I thought last years set up was stupid. I accepted it because I knew we were adding 2 teams, then this year we add 2 more? Its brain dead. I like the comparison to t-ball because it has that feel to it. All you have to do it not be one of the worst two teams in the conference and you get a nice pat on the back and a trip to the conference tourney? This is the best conference in college baseball, if you aren't in the top 8 you shouldn't be there. It's pathetic.
