Florida’s No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed reveals SEC Tournament exit as blip

The Florida Gators softball team was the best team in the SEC in 2017.

It went 20-3 over a schedule that may not have been quite as rough as some in the league, but still included series with the conference’s runner-up and third-place finishers. That was a good enough record that even an SEC slate-ending loss to Tennessee a little over a fortnight ago was completely immaterial to the Gators’ third straight SEC championship, clinched while every other team in the league still had a full series to play.

Florida was dominant throughout the season.
