On Wednesday Auburn baseball head coach Butch Thompson released the 2017 schedule, which includes – count ‘em – THREE out-of-conference games against NCAA Tournament teams from last season.
Two of those are against the same team as Auburn plays Georgia Tech in a couple of mid-week games. The only other out-of-conference game against an NCAA Tournament team is a mid-week game against South Alabama.
I know Auburn baseball isn’t to the point where they can confidently go up against the best in the country, but this is embarrassing.
In comparison, last year Auburn played nine out-of-conference games against teams that made the NCAA Tournament.
