SEC
Four SEC teams are on their way to Omaha for the College World Series, so there’s a good chance at least one will be playing for the championship.
It’ll be interesting to see how things play out in Omaha, but updated odds have three SEC teams as the favorites to win it all.
Per an email from BetOnline.ag, Arkansas and Vanderbilt are the co-favorites, with Mississippi State checking in just behind them:
- Arkansas — 3/1
- Vanderbilt — 3/1
- Mississippi State — 7/2
- Auburn — 10/1
As for the other four teams in contention, here are their odds as of Wednesday evening:
- Louisville — 8/1
- Texas Tech — 17/2
- Florida State — 9/1
- Michigan — 14/1
The tournament starts on Saturday, with games on the ESPN family of networks.
I’ll pull for Arkie in this one, but appears FSU is the sentimental choice for the masses.
I’m one of the sentimental masses. Martin has been good for college baseball and been to 16 CWS without winning one. Plus, my youngest graduated from there, but that is pretty minor in this. I don’t recall ever pulling for FSU in any other sporting event.
