They lost Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews. Those were massive losses that you just don't replace. Skenes was basically an automatic win against everyone's ace every Friday. If he won 8 games on Friday and then they went 5-5 on Sat and Sun that's 18 wins right there. Anything better than that and they're almost a lock for a National Seed.

Potentially. Especially if they get swept by Arkansas. They might rebound against Vandy. But then they have Tennessee in Knoxville. I expect them to lose at least twice to Arkansas. If they lose the Vandy series we'll see if the wheels come off or not. They do have Mizzou on the road and that helps and I think they have a chance to win series against Ole Miss, Alabama, and Auburn. I'm guessing they end up winning between 13-16 games.
