Should be a good series between Florida & LSU.
The Beavers lost to the #1 or #2 team in the country in their backyard.(Baton Rouge)
It sucked, but the tough defeat in the Regional can be used as a 'springboard' to achieve great things on the diamond in 2024.
"Wait Until Next Year" is my Beaver Baseball Motto.

"Wait Until Next Year" is my Beaver Baseball Motto. It beats my "Wait Until Next Year" motto in basketball and football:  Oregon State got hosed in the draw. If Oregon State had not been sent to Baton Rouge or Gainesville, it's a different story. But Oregon State lost to LSU, which means next year ends in Omaha. 2024 is the Beavers' year. I hope Florida beats LSU at this point. Hopefully, it's an awful sweep and no one watches. You want people to watch, don't let Auburn host a regional! |

LSU and Florida are good. No one disputes that. The top 2-3 teams in the SEC are always good, I'll throw in Vandy. That shouldn't result in 10 teams getting into the tournament and eight getting regionals, though.
It's just like football. Just because Alabama and Georgia are good, that doesn't Ole Miss, Mississippi State and the rest of the conference is anything special.
The SEC is very top-heavy. Nobody else in the conference can beat the big boys, either.

The one thing that the SEC has going for it, is once they get to Omaha they seem to perform very well. CWS Champions since 2005 2023 Florida/LSU 2022 Ole Miss 2021 Mississippi St 2020 No CWS 2019 Vanderbilt 2018 Oregon St 2017 Florida 2016 Coastal Carolina 2015 Virginia 2014 Vanderbilt 2013 UCLA 2012 Arizona 2011 South Carolina 2010 South Carolina 2009 LSU 2008 Fresno St 2007 Oregon St 2006 Oregon St 2005 Texas Since our trip to Omaha in 2005, teams from the SEC have won 9 of 18 CWS. |

In 14 tournaments between 2005 and 2018, the SEC won five times, the Pac-12 five times.
Then the big, big money hit the SEC, in the form of its huge TV contract, and it has dominated. You can only spend so much of that money on football. Millions trickle down to the other programs as well.

Look the SEC consistently has some of the best teams in the country. Their top teams are the real deal with a heavy shot to win it every year. That said other contenders are washed out of host spots or not allowed in the tourney at all because their mid-field gets loads of advantage. I've talked about it before but SEC is not gaming RPI as individual teams. The conference strategy absolutely does and its pretty brilliant. They leverage their home field advantage to win pretty much every non-conference game they have at home. Their games away from home are always neutral site tourneys. Their losses are almost purely contained in conference until they get to the post season. Due to their inflated RPI they get home field advantage all over the place in the post season. Essentially you don't know much of anything about the SEC until the CWS because they have stacked advantages all the way to Omaha. Well you do learn that their mid field ain't great when half of them lose at home in post season. |

SEC record in Omaha each year: 2005 3-5
2006 0-2
2007 0-2
2008 5-4
2009 7-3
2010 6-3
2011 10-2
2012 5-8
2013 3-4

2017 9-6
2018 8-6
2019 6-7
2021 9-7
2022 11-7
2023 8-3 (will finish 10-5 or 11-6)
107-85 or 108-86 .557
Oregon State's winning percentage in the College World Series in the same period is 21-10, .677.
Everyone beyond the top one or two teams in the SEC is trash. Their reputation is built on being awarded regionals and supers that they have no business hosting and then beating up other undeserving SEC teams in Omaha. I remain unimpressed with the conference by and large. |

LSU has the best team in College baseball and they will win the CWS. They beat the Beavers!
Winning the CWS means you have to beat Oregon State somewhere along the way - Regional, Super or in Omaha.
The road to glory in Omaha goes through Corvallis.

I'm planning on watching the championship series but it feels like Yankees vs Dodgers. No rooting interest in the best teams money can buy.
