Looking back at the preseason college baseball rankings, I’m reminded of Mark Twain’s famous quote: “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Picked to finish last in the SEC West, Auburn baseball now sits a top of the South Eastern Conference.
For the straight second weekend the Tigers have beaten a team at the top of the league standings. Arkansas and Mississippi State both came into their series with the Tigers sporting the best records in the SEC. But Now Auburn sits a top the heap having swept the Bulldogs Saturday in a doubleheader 17-8 and 5-3 in Starkville.
