#2 Florida lost its SEC opener vs #4 Arkansas, which stunk.  But the Gators came back and spanked them 17-2 yesterday and took the series today, 5-4.  

Looking for back-to-back National Championships!!!

Could be worse, you could be getting pounded in the midweek MAC games like MSU is.

Columbus, Ohio – Seniors Luis Alvarado and Scott Schreiber led Nebraska (14-12, 2-2 Big Ten) to a 7-3 come-from-behind win against Ohio State at Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium on Friday night. The Buckeyes raced out to a 3-0 lead after two innings, but the Huskers stormed back with seven unanswered runs to take the series opener.

Alvarado, who made his seventh start of the season, threw a career-high 7.2 innings, allowing three runs and recorded five strikeouts. Schreiber continued his offensive production with a 3-for-5 day, including a home run and two RBIs.

Here is a hopeful sign. Iowa defeats ranked Illinois in Game 1 of their series after going 1-1 against ranked Indiana.

These limited results start to suggest the Big Ten remains well-behind most of the rest of the country in this sport.

Iowa appears to be a good Big Ten team having gone 2-1 against the two highest ranked Big Ten teams, Indiana (11th) and Illinois (25th). Meanwhile Iowa couldn't compete with baseball semi-powerful teams Missouri State and UNLV, going 0-4 against those schools, neither of which are in the Top 25.

Conference has improved quite a bit over the past 6-7 years, but this year certainly appears to be a step back.  In baseball I wouldn't read too much into a 2-1 record as evidence of anything though.

Although by composite computer ranking, conference is #8 this year, which is exactly where they finished the past two seasons.  So maybe we aren't as far off as it appears.
