That's exactly how I took it too... Mostly sarcasm with a hint of truth due to the SEC being so tough this year

Of course the national championship is better but winning the SEC tourney championship this year in particular is impressive since 7 of the top 10 teams are/were in the tournament.

The sec trny will have more talent with 7 of the top 10 teams or so but teams dont go all out to win it like they will the cws.

Because the CWS is much more important.

Yeah, South Carolina and Vandy played it safe. Nobody is burning up their pitching staff to make it one more day here.

Now, some teams do have a little extra motivation. We're trying to get a national seed. Florida wanted redemption after losing the series to us. Thus, that game was as intense as a CWS game. But for the most part, people are just getting their feet wet, preparing for the real thing coming up

Considering that 3 or 4 of the best teams in the SEC tournament are not very interested in winning it, I'd give the nod to Omaha.

Under Mainieri LSU has won the SEC tournament 5 times and the CWS 1 time. So clearly winning the CWS is more difficult thus more impressive.


I agree with your conclusion, but your reasoning is specious. If you use S Carolina instead of LSU you'd reason thus: S Carolina has won the CWS twice and has never won the SEC tournament. Therefore the SEC is harder to win.

I knew that loss to Alabama in the BCS game was no big deal. We won the SEC!

the schedule/format of the two makes the SEC tourney more taxing.

SEC = 5 wins in 6 days to win tourney
CWS = 5 wins in 12 days to win tourney

More impressive amount of downvotes, your thread or the "ban the rally possum" thread?

I think it will be close.
