Thursday SEC Baseball

Has anyone ever gone winless in the conference in baseball?

---

Lowest win total since 2000 is 5 by 3 different teams.. I didn't go back further..

I went searching to find out if any team has gone winless in SEC baseball history, and I didn't find the answer yet, but I did find this from 10 years ago.

A definitive ranking of SEC baseball programs historically

from Bench McElroy

1. LSU- 6 national championships, 16 CWS appearances, 27 NCAA tournament appearances, 15 conference championships

I'll pay LSU baseball the highest compliment imaginable. They are the college baseball equivalent of Alabama football.

2. South Carolina- 2 national championships, 11 CWS appearances, 30 NCAA tournament appearances, 3 conference championships

For a long time, South Carolina sucked at pretty much every sport imaginable. Baseball was the one exception. They were a very good program but could never get over the hump. Finally, the Cocks broke through in 2010 by winning a championship then they won another the next year and made it to a third consecutive CWS final in 2012. With that run, they have firmly established themselves as the second best baseball program in the SEC.

3. Mississippi State- 9 CWS appearances, 34 NCAA tournament appearances, 16 conference titles

Right now, Mississippi State is where South Carolina was at five years ago. The Bulldogs have had some great players and some great teams but they've just never been able to break through and win a championship. It's too bad because no other SEC team has produced as much top-tier MLB talent.

4. Florida- 8 CWS, 38 NCAA tournament appearances, 13 conference titles

Not surprisingly, Florida excels at baseball just like they excel at other sports.

5. Missouri- 1 CWS title, 6 CWS appearances, 22 NCAA tournament appearances, 20 conference championships

Almost all of their success came before 1965 but you can't argue the results. The most impressive part about Missouri has to be their coaching stability. They've only had three baseball head coaches since 1937. That's right, 1937. Being the Missouri head baseball coach might be the cushiest job in sports.

6. Arkansas- 7 CWS appearances, 27 NCAA tournament appearances, 4 conference titles

Arkansas Razorbacks baseball is very solid and consistent but nothing spectacular so they're basically like every other Arkansas sports team.

7. Texas A&M- 5 CWS appearances, 30 NCAA tournament appearances, 19 conference titles

It seems like the Aggies inability to win big games carries over to other sports. Texas A&M only has a 2-10 record in the CWS.

8. Alabama- 5 CWS appearances, 23 NCAA tournament appearances, 14 conference titles

9. Georgia- 1 CWS title, 6 CWS appearances, 11 NCAA tournament appearances, 6 conference titles

10. Ole Miss- 5 CWS appearances, 18 NCAA tournament appearances, 7 conference titles

11. Auburn- 4 CWS appearances, 18 NCAA tournament appearances, 2 conference titles

12. Vanderbilt- 1 CWS title, 2 CWS appearances, 13 NCAA tournament appearances, 6 conference titles

People might be surprised to find Vandy ranked so low on the list but historically, their baseball program ranks near the bottom in almost every category. Kentucky is the only SEC team with fewer CWS appearances and Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky are the only SEC schools with fewer NCAA tournament appearances. The improvement in perception of Vandy's baseball program just shows how one coach really can truly make all the difference.

13. Tennessee- 4 CWS appearances, 9 NCAA tournament appearances, 3 conference titles

14. Kentucky- 6 NCAA tournament appearances, 1 conference championship

Does Kentucky care about any sport that doesn't involve bouncing a round orange ball? It sure doesn't seem like it.

Go ahead and update that Championship playa..

Dawgs need to win this series to stop the slide.

Grab 2 of 3 here, take care of Mizzou next week and things are looking good again at 15-9 in the SEC

Much like you, Vern.

I’ve never really paid any attention to college baseball or just in general since I stoped playing after graduating. I know OU was in the title a few years ago but are they actually good? I know OU tends to stack up an easy non conference schedule in every sport but in baseball I know they do play decent teams like Dallas Baptist and oral Robert’s. 29-11 seems a bit sketchy to me. Any thoughts?

Well hopefully our wagons run over some bulldawgs tonight. Lol

Mizzou is tired of not getting noticed. They have found a way to make a name for themselves.
