So, as you can see the Vols are the odds on favorite at the moment, with SEC foes Arkansas and Vanderbilt being the closest competitors from the conference. This weekend should prove to be another test for Tennessee as they hit the road to play the Florida Gators. Don’t forget, the Vols will be without Tony Vitello, as he is currently serving his suspension for an ejection and subsequent bump of an official.

It’s interesting but don’t put much stock in it. Many a great baseball team has been sent packing in post season play. Arkansas was clearly the best team in the nation top to bottom in the regular season last year, and didn’t even make the World Series after they went cold and NC State decided to play out of their minds in the super regional. Then you thought for sure Vandy with those two first round studs pitching would roll through Omaha, but then Rocker looked like he completely ran out of gas and they went home. It happens. Baseball is a streaky sport. It’s all about who’s playing their best at the end of the year.
