Causes the low ranking. We will finish in the top 30ish in Boyd's rankings, as well as rpi.
We will make regionals again, although its somewhat unlikely we host.
OM is looking very shaky. They have no pitching depth, and the bats have underperformed.
Auburn is not very good this year.
Vandy is the lowest they've been under Corbin since 2005.
Bama is a trainwreck right now.
South Carolina is(according to inside sources) one of the 3-4 worst teams Tanner has fielded there(since 97).
Tennessee is in serious rebuilding mode still.
Kentucky is playing out of their minds right now. No way they sustain it. Hot early = cold late(usually).
We are as good right now, today, as LSU and Georgia.
