SEC Baseball Power Rankings: Georgia rules the SEC

There’s one weekend left in the SEC regular season. We’ve seen 27 games, several Senior Days, and a lot of unexpected moments this season. Here’s our last power rankings of the regular season before everyone heads to Hoover next week.

1. Georgia

Everyone waited on the Dawgs to fall off at some point this season. It never happened. The Dawgs have won nine straight games and are coming off a nail-in-the-coffin sweep of LSU. They won the regular season outright and will head to the SEC Tournament as the No. 1 seed.

2. Auburn

Auburn was set to close the regular season with some disappointment. Three series against three of the hottest teams in the conference would surely result in some sadness on the Plains. That’s how that was supposed to go. They went to College Station and took two of three. They went to Starkville and took two of three again. Now the Tigers have won six straight series in conference play and will host Georgia with a chance to win a seventh.

3. Texas

Texas picked a really good time to lose a series to a bad team. Everyone else in the the three through five range of the rankings did the same. Well, they played better teams, but they still lost. Texas went to Knoxville in a matchup of gaudy colors and obnoxious fans. They left with their first series loss since the A&M series and gave Josh Elander his first series win over a top five team.

4. Texas A&M

Losing on the road at Ole Miss doesn’t necessarily warrant a panic for A&M fans. It does however bring up some valid concerns for what their lineup will do against good pitching. The top four hitters in their lineup have been really good all season. This weekend however, they hit just .235 in their two losses at Ole Miss and .269 on the weekend. It’s too early to say they peaked too early in the season, but losing back to back series isn’t exactly the confidence you wanted going into the postseason.

5. Mississippi State

I still refuse to sell my shares of State Stock (Trademark). They’ve lost two series in a row, but they lost them to teams that were ranked in the top six nationally. It was surprising to see the Bulldogs lose at home to Auburn considering they had a winning percentage of .800 at home before the series. Auburn is a really good team, though. The concern now becomes how high the ceiling is for Mississippi State. They’ve only won four of their nine series this year in SEC play and three of the four teams they’ve beaten (LSU, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt) are currently ranked No. 13-15 in the conference standings.

One sentence about tier two teams

6. Alabama

Good sweep over a bad team which was really impressive since Justin Lebron was out.

7. Arkansas

The Hogs stayed hot against a ranked Oklahoma team winning two of three and are peaking at the right time.

8. Florida

Great win over Kentucky, but 10 a.m. start times in college should be illegal on a Sunday (or any day).

9. Ole Miss

Huge home series win over a top ten team to solidify the resumé.

10. Tennessee

The uglier orange beat the prettier orange in a massive series win for Josh Elander in year one.

Bottom Six

  1. Oklahoma
  2. Kentucky
  3. LSU
  4. Missouri
  5. South Carolina
  6. Vanderbilt
