Weekly SEC Baseball Power Poll

Posted on Apr 19 2016 - 7:02am by Collin Brister
  1. Texas A&M – Goodness, what a weekend of the Aggies. Texas A&M destroyed Mississippi State’s pitching this weekend as they garnered a sweep of the Bulldogs on Super Bulldog Weekend. Texas A&M dominated every game except Sunday, when they overcame a tie game in the ninth on the way to the sweep. Texas A&M now has sole possession of the lead in the SEC West.
  2. Florida – Florida got back on track after losing their first series of the year to Mississippi State. The Gators swept Arkansas this weekend in dominating fashion. The Gators are the most talented team in the league and showed that this weekend.
  3. South Carolina – South Carolina lost two games to a bad Georgia team this weekend. I don’t know what that was about, how that happened or really anything about life because that’s just not supposed to happen.
  4. Mississippi State –The Bulldogs were torn up on the mound this past weekend, but Mississippi State is still talented enough to garner a national seed. The Bulldogs have a great opportunity to get back on track this weekend as they head to Baton Rouge.
  5. Vanderbilt – The Commodores took two of three from Kentucky this past weekend after losing a series to LSU.
  6. Kentucky – Kentucky dropped a series to Vanderbilt. The jury is still out on the Wildcats, however, but the early signs say that the Wildcats may have a solid SEC team and are capable of hosting a regional.
  7. LSU – LSU is really getting it together. They’ve won five of their last six SEC games. While Alex Lange has been somewhat of a mystery on Saturdays, the Tigers have really put it together at the plate and are becoming really dangerous in SEC play.
  8. Alabama – Dear God, Alabama can pitch. The Crimson Tide has three legitimate SEC starters and will pose problems to any team in the SEC. The Crimson Tide is getting the bats going from being a great SEC team.
  9. Ole Miss- See Alabama.
  10. Georgia – Georgia gets this spot this week simply because they beat South Carolina, which makes absolutely no sense. So, congrats to Georgia.
  11. Arkansas – Arkansas has fallen on hard times. They’ve been swept two weeks in a row and lost a series to Missouri the week before that. Arkansas will likely miss the NCAA tournament for the first time in a while.
  12. Auburn –They beat Tennessee, so congratulations on your award of being No. 12 in this week’s power poll.
  13. Tennessee – Tennessee’s spring game went well. Josh Dobbs showed he could be a potent passer in this league, and Jalen Hurd is a stud at running back. This year will be a test for the Volunteers, as every expert it seems has them winning the SEC West.
  14. Missouri – No
