Baseball Around the SEC, Week 10 (4/20 - 4/26/23)

Ole Miss finds another way to lose. Up 6-4 in 9th, BB, HBP and 3 run HR. Called it to wife while watching..
LSU sweeps.

 

pretty good odds.

Vail(Fr starter) hasnt allowed a run last 2 starts. Maybe bats are back. Gonzalez could be back too, but who knows how effective if so.

Pitching is going to do what it does otherwise, keep swingging & see what happens. Ol miss & Mizz to finish at least gives them a chance if can avoid 0-6 next 2 weeks.

Might get some post season softball in Auburn though, if they can take care of business last 2 weeks. @SC. MSU.

 

7 of the top 14 (D1 poll) were swept this weekend.

 

interested in seeing what they do - this is a tough week to drop the teams that should drop because there is no one to replace them with. LSU - Wake - South Carolina and then where do you go from there.

 

Yes, tough weekend for some of the top ranked teams. I'd be surprised if Gators drop more than 2-3 slots.

NB: Not sure if you folks follow ELO rankings but it's an interesting ranking system taken from chess rankings- and Gators #4 in ELO.

 

Didn't fall far. Interesting to see Coastal, Campbell and Uconn all in the top 10.

Rank Team Overall Record Record Last Week Previous Rank
1 LSU 32-7 3-1 1
2 Wake Forest 34-6 3-1 2
3 South Carolina 34-6 4-0 6
4 Florida 31-10 1-3 3
5 Vanderbilt 29-11 0-4 4
6 Coastal Carolina 26-12 3-1 10
7 Arkansas 30-10 1-3 5
8 Stanford 25-12 2-2 9
9 Campbell 31-8 4-0 11
10 Connecticut 29-11 3-2 15

 

Excellent- now we need to get back on a track with a 4-0 week..... Go Gators!

 

Campbell & UConn in top 10 is just silly IMO. theyd both win about 8 games vs SEC schedule...combined

UConn SOS 51.. Camels 134

 

ELO usually only rankings I pay attention to other than RPI... but dont get Vols at 6.. Still 2 under .500 in league

RPI 26 SOS 17...

Must be the 'human element' I suspect is still part of the ELO equation.

 

260lb SEC Slugger Hits Home Runs Off BOTH Foul Poles In Same Game (outkick.com)

Not sure what being 260lbs has to do w/ anything..lol

 

Troy over the barners. Yikes.

 

Yikes?? Troy arguably best team in state.. In as at large in todays D1 projections #29 RPI. SunBelt could get 4 or 5 in this year. 3 at minimum Id say as of now. Troy a prime candidate for Gville regional..

AU could of used RPI help , I guess. Was only a 4 spot difference either way. but other than that pretty irrelevant . Get to 12-13(min.) SEC wins or dont.

Really like Troys HC Skylar Meade(former SC east pitching coach). Have a feeling he wont be there long.

D1 has AU first team out 2 weeks in a row now. They may not get in but guarantee wont be on the first teams out list.. Guess D1 unaware who committee chair is... John Cohen...
