I keep hearing this but I’m wondering why this is?
We sweated the Arkansas series and are all thrilled we went 2-1 instead of 1-2 or 0-3 because it had huge NCAA seeding implications.
But now we can relax?
It seems to me that it’s SEC competition and it matters a lot vis-a-vis our NCAA seeding.
So what’s different now?
The main reason I can think of is that the SECT is not a level playing field. Meaning, teams are there with different motivations and teams will play up/down depending on that.
The other reason that comes to mind is it has unusual demands on pitching staffs. Pitching strengths/weaknesses that show in the SECT don’t necessarily translate to the NCAA
Anything else?
