The baseball tournament committee placed 7 (!) SEC schools as #1 regional seeds. Only one made the College World Series.Â
The mighty SEC and the stupid RPI in other spring sports too:
Men's golf - 9 of the final 30 from the SEC. Three made the quarterfinals. All lost in the quarters.
Womens golf - 6 of the final 24 from the SEC including #1 Alabama. One made the quarterfinals. And lost to Stanford.
Womens tennis - 5 of the top 16 seeds from the SEC. Only one made the quarterfinals. And lost to Stanford in the semis.
Softball - the SEC is very strong in softball. 4 schools made the College World Series. But none won the title.
