The regular season has come and gone and the Southeastern Conference Tournament is next up on the docket for the Tennessee baseball program. Before the action gets underway from Hoover, however, D1 Baseball released an updated Field of 64 projections and has the Vols on the move once more.

In this latest mockup, Tennessee would be on the road for NCAA Regionals, playing in Atlanta with host Georgia Tech. The Volunteers would be the No. 2 seed alongside 3-seed Arizona State and 4-seed Columbia.   

The Yellow Jackets claim the final host seed at No. 16 overall in this simulation as the Atlanta Regional would matchup with the Austin Regional and No. 1 overall seed Texas for supers. Dallas Batist (2), Southern California (3) and Houston Christian (4) comprise  the rest of the field in Austin, according to the latest projection from D1 Baseball.      

The May 18 update as the Longhorns as the top-overall seed followed by Arkansas (2), Vanderbilt (3), North Carolina (4), Georgia (5), Auburn (6), LSU (7), Oregon (8), Oregon State (9), Coastal Carolina (10), Florida State (11), Clemson (12), UCLA (13), Southern Miss (14), TCU (15) and Georgia Tech (16).   

In last week’s D1 Baseball Field of 64 projections, Tennessee was a No. 2 seed in the Morgantown Regional with host, and No. 16 overall seed, West Virginia. 11Point7 also has Tennessee travelling to Atlanta in their latest mockup, but has Georgia Tech as the No. 14 overall seed.  

Tennessee the No. 8 Seed in SEC Tournament

Tennessee concluded the Southeastern Conference slate tied for seventh in the league with a 16-14 record. Ole Miss and Alabama also finished with the same mark in conference play, but since all three teams didn’t play each other this season, a tiebreaker system was used to determined seeding for the SEC Tournament this week in Hoover, Ala.

When all the dust settled, the Volunteers (41-15, 16-14 SEC) received a BYE and are the eighth seed in the conference tournament, beginning play in Hoover Wednesday morning at 10:30 ET (9:30 AM local). Tennessee will take on the winner of (16) Missouri and (9) Alabama, who play on Tuesday.

If Tennessee wins its opener in Hoover, it will go on to play top-seed Texas at 4 PM ET on Wednesday. This year’s tournament will include all 16 teams in a single-elimination format.

Despite owning the head-to-head matchups with Ole Miss and Alabama this season, the Rebels get the 7-seed and the Crimson Tide the 9-seed based on common opponents. Auburn and Vanderbilt were the common opponents for the three teams and the records vs. those teams are as follows: 6-3 for Ole Miss, 5-4 for Tennessee and 3-6 for Alabama.     

Tennessee has won two of the past four SEC Baseball Tournaments in recent memory, claiming the 2022 and 2024 championships as the No. 1 seed.
