Mine are top 8 teams make it. All double elimination. If you don’t make the top 8 you don’t go.
Kinda sucks to have the 5 seed and could be gone in 3 hours.

or maybe not getting swept by Georgia. Time to move on and keep winning.How big is that extra innng 1 run loss in game 3 vs Ole Miss now? We’d have a 1st round bye in the tourney had we won that one. We’d have the 4th seed.
This ^^I wish it was just a single-game elimination. We have to win 5 games in 6 days. That's ridiculous.

I like the ACC round-robin pods then one championship game. You can play a lot of games in a true double elimination 8-team tourney, potentially killing your pitching. The round robin plus one guarantees at least 3 games but no more than 4.
I absolutely abhor that format. Yes it helps with the pitching and guaranteed games. BUT, at times before a team even plays their second game they can know they are eliminated from the championship. It’s like getting participation trophies for making their tourney.
More years than not, that is our philosophy.Other than allowing teams to pad their NCAA resumes, the SEC tournament is meaningless IMO. If you are clearly in the NCAA tournament, better to bow out of the SEC early and rest your arms.
That 8th inning, getting no one across...UGH!!!!!How big is that extra innng 1 run loss in game 3 vs Ole Miss now? We’d have a 1st round bye in the tourney had we won that one. We’d have the 4th seed.
I like your concept. The only variation I would offer is to eliminate the event altogether.Mine are top 8 teams make it. All double elimination. If you don’t make the top 8 you don’t go.

The ACC probably needs to guarantee two games to insure all the teams show up.Acc format guarantees 2 games (4 three team pods). Winners of four pods advance to semis. Winners play for title. What I don't like is some teams play meaningless games if they don't win the "right" game. Two teams finish 1-1 higher seed advances.
if true it would mean beating mizzu/Arky and probably Florida. This would get us a favorable regional close to home, Hopefully in Clemson. I would like that.I think we need to win a few in Hoover to stay in the conversation.
It's to reward the top 4 teams for constantly winning/sweeping weekend SEC series.Mine are top 8 teams make it. All double elimination. If you don’t make the top 8 you don’t go.

If you say it, I believe it. We've still got people who think we ought to just lie down so we can get some "rest". I don't like that approach to competition anyway. But this ain't that kind of year.I think we need to win a few in Hoover to stay in the conversation.

Yes, add a couple of regular season conference games. Conference tournaments used to mean something when they determined who advanced to further postseason play. That's no longer true in major conferences. I say drop 'em.Here here. I am in favor of doing away with conference tournaments in all sports.
the format is stupid. That is all.Mine are top 8 teams make it. All double elimination. If you don’t make the top 8 you don’t go.

What’s better to win, the regular season or tournament? Does Florida have anything to prove since they are regular season champs, I wouldn’t throw nobody and get them rested for regionals , i figure same with us if unless goin deep in the tournament or winning it would get us a top 16 seed.
We're playing for higher seed, and maybe a regional host spot depending on how well we and others do this week.I agree with many of you in that I Don’t like the ACC concept and while many of you may see the SEC tourney as meaningless to those already in, the ACC literally plays meaningless games in their tournament.
While the opinion of most on this board seems to be “no way they’ll leave us out” we currently sit at 34 in RPI. That puts us on the front end of a 3 seed if the season ended today and the brackets went chalk on RPI. We could play ourselves into a 2, but mathematically we are not there yet.
A loss to Missouri and we’re going to slip to at least a 3. I think we make the tourney but if a team like Missouri snuck up and won the automatic bid, our RPI could keep us out.
Who?
