It's not much of a surprise that the Florida Gators baseball team, No. 1 in the preseason version of virtually every national ranking anyone puts out, would be SEC coaches' choice to win the conference, as was announced on Thursday.
In fact, it might be more surprising that Vanderbilt — the 2014 College World Series champion and 2015 College World Series runner-up, mind — got a single first-place vote, preventing the Gators from making a clean sweep of the SEC's 14 votes ... except for the fact that coaches can't vote for their own teams to win the league, so Kevin O'Sullivan had to pick another one.
