SEC Baseball and Kentucky

Only one SEC Team is undefeated at this point in the season, Texas A&M at 11-0. Five teams have only lost one game, including Kentucky: Tennessee (11-1), LSU (11-1), Alabama (11-1), Georgia (10-1), and Kentucky (10-1).

Next are Auburn and Arkansas, both at 9-2 on the season. Vanderbilt follows at 10-3, with Florida and South Carolina both at 8-3.

Mississippi State is at 8-4, Ole Miss at 8-5 and the only SEC team underwater is Missouri at 5-6.

RPI Rankings are still important in baseball, although they may be on their way out eventually. SEC RPI Rankings are as follows:

2. Arkansas
7. Alabama
8. Texas A&M
9. Georgia
10. Kentucky
12. Florida

27. South Carolina
32. LSU
72. Auburn
85. Tennessee
124. Vanderbilt
138. Ole Miss
192. Mississippi State
210. Missouri

I am a little disappointed that Kentucky has not emerged in the D1 Baseball top 25 yet this season. I think they are deserving at this point. I think they follow baseball better than coaches or general media, so I like to look at their Poll first. I also think it's pretty influential when it comes time for NCAA Selection and seeding.

They currently have the following SEC teams ranked in their top 25, including 6 teams in the top 9:

2. Arkansas
3. LSU
4. Florida
7. Texas A&M
8. Tennessee
9. Vanderbilt
15. Alabama
19. Auburn
21. South Carolina

Kentucky is also not ranked in Baseball America or the Coaches Poll.
