The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The Vols are taking a dump in the bed here in the late season.  Awesome.

The Barn is a tough team this year.  We didn't even get one game off of them.  

Horns swept the wareagletigers, and the ags, and then of course got swept by the piglets.  It's tough in the SEC.

A pretty hot Gator team is coming to town this weekend. I'll probably get to at least one of those games. 

Been waiting years to hear you say that.  

Now you just need to learn how to chant "SEC!  SEC!  SEC!"

Georgia baseball jumps to No. 1 ranking in Baseball America Top 25

I predict this will be short lived.

I suspect it's because the teams ranked above them had a loss or three and the Dawgs are on a winning streak against subpar opponents like Kennesaw State. 

UGA apparently can hit, but not pitch.  I'm thinking of going over there, I could be a student again.  I've always wanted a history degree.

Wow, Mizzou is 0-24 in conference play.  That's hard to do.

UT is still #1 in D1Baseball's poll. 

Yeah that was a bit surprising.

Most longtime college baseball fans I know use Baseball America, I've always found it to make more sense.

I still say a playoff determines a playoff champion. 

It's not likely it determines the best team, if there is such a thing.

I think this is a more accurate statement for sports like football where there is only 1 game at each round of the playoff.

In MLB there are series, and I think you're a lot more likely to get a "true" winner from a series of series.

The NCAA college baseball tournament isn't all pure series, but the regional 4-team double-elimination format I think is still more likely to produce the "best" team, than a single game would.  And then the super-regional is a series which is also more likely to produce a "best" team.  And then the CWS repeats that same format with your double elimination 4-team half-bracket, and then the final series once again.

Regardless, my statement was really just pointing out that the poll rankings in baseball aren't really all that important, there's a selection committee that determines entry outside the auto-bids, and seeding.  They might or might follow along with the polls.  Mostly it seems like they're heavily swayed by RPI.
