SEC baseball is again playing at a ridiculously high competitive level.
For instance, No, 17 LSU, which travels to No. 19 Texas A&M to open a three-game series tonight, has just a 5-4 SEC record so far.
Yet, the 19-11 Tigers are just one game behind Western Division leader Ole Miss, which is ranked No. 3 nationally.
"The SEC is perplexing," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said. "You see all these teams ranked high and everybody is anointing to be the greatest teams ever and they are all 5-4 or 4-5 or 3-6. I don't want to be ordinary, but I don't think there's any reason to panic at this point.
