SEC titles in a down year aren't very impressive

Just because LSU sucks doesn’t mean the SEC is down. Getting 7-9 bids, and 5 of those with a chance to host a super regional isn’t a down year. 4 of the top 5 teams in the country is from the SEC. Again, that’s not a down year dummy.

Tenner knows they had a better team last year

Tennessee team last year couldn’t hold a match to this years team. This year team had the 2nd best offensive output in school history with over 9 runs a game. Last years team was 5-10 in SEC at the half way point. We had to go like 11-4 to finish the season to even make the NCAA tournament.

LSU, Florida, Vandy, etc, all lost tons of talent and it caught up with them when young guys didn't pan out.

---

Tennessee lost its entire pitching rotation but Beam, and they still had top 10 staff in the country and 2nd best ERA in the SEC. Tennessee had to replace 7 pitchers from last year. They also and to replace 10 player going into last year. And yet both teams still won. Losing talent at top tier schools isn’t an excuse when you recruit at an high level.

So congrats on one of the more weaker SEC reg season title guys. It's not really up for debate that it's not as impressive.

11 teams in the top 30 RPI nationally, but the SEC is “down”? You obviously don’t have a clue. Reason why LSU, UF, and Vandy are not having the years anymore is because the rest of the league is catching up to them. NIL has even the field with Vandy, and now Vandy no longer has the scholarship advantages. Go look at the last 4 recruiting classes for LSU and tell me where they rank at!
