Lots of shakeup in SEC baseball standings after wild weekend in conference play
It was business as usual for LSU this weekend.
The No. 1-ranked Tigers baseball team bounced back from a midweek loss to Louisiana with a weekend sweep on the road against Ole Miss — their first in league play this season.
But while it was a relatively stress-free weekend for coach Jay Johnson’s team, which is slowly getting back to health, there were a lot of surprising results around the league.
Florida, Vanderbilt and Arkansas, all top-five teams in the nation entering the weekend, were swept on the road against South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia, respectively. Kentucky also suffered a series loss to Texas A&M on its home field.
After a lot of shakeup in the conference, here’s how the SEC standings look now that the dust has settled.
