Updated SEC baseball standings as league’s top 4 teams go down over the weekend

If the SEC wasn’t already hard enough to parse when it comes to baseball, this weekend proved quite a complicating factor. The top four teams in the league — all of which ranked in the top five nationally — went down.

LSU suffered its first series loss of the season to Auburn. Vanderbilt lost to an Alabama team that had just fired its coach, South Carolina was swept by Kentucky and Florida was stunned in College Station with a walk-off balk that gave Texas A&M a Game 3 win.

It was a huge weekend for bubble teams in the SEC, and the real winner is probably Arkansas, which had little difficulty sweeping Mississippi State and now controls the SEC West. Another ranked team also suffered a series loss: Tennessee was defeated by Georgia.
