Crazy start to the SEC west

Defending national champion Ole Miss is 0-6? Miss State, perennially a tough team, is 0-7? Highly touted Texas A&M is 1-5? Really?

Sure it’s early. These teams are still probably still good enough to challenge in any series. But these teams are already in big trouble. You probably have to win at least 20 of 30 games to win the SEC which means Ole Miss would have to go 20-4 over their next 24 games. It’s mighty early in the season for a defending national champ to be so close to being out of the hunt for an SEC title.

Right now, and yes it’s too early to say this, but the west could be a two horse race with Arky and LSU, making winning that series last week so big. Looking ahead, LSU is in the heart of a tough schedule. Arkansas finishes with Vandy and South Carolina. Sheesh, the SEC is tough.

You have to figure one of the other teams in the West will make a run. It’s still a shocker the Mississippi teams haven’t won an SEC game. Thats has to suck for their fans to be in such a huge hole so early. No doubt someone will come back to the pack, but their margin for error is very thin.

SEC baseball is so fun this year with all the good teams. Who knows who will be the wicked witch of the East with Florida, Vandy, Kentucky and South Carolina playing well you and can’t count out Tennessee. I find myself watching the other SEC games when LSU is not playing. For whatever reason, I find watching SEC baseball more fun than MLB.
