There will be regular season champs & also SEC champs.
Last time we won the regular season champ was back in 89??? or something when Clark & Raffy & those boys were in town.
Thunder and Lightening's last year was 85.
The regular season championship is more meaningful. The tournament format distorts rotations... it's more a matter of who get's hot for a week, who wants to save pitching for regionals, and who has better pitches after the first three have been used.
Baseball should be done just like basketball
No east and west
One regular season champ & one tourney champ...
It was '89. Cohen and Tommy Raffo were on that team.Quote:

The tournament champion is just that....tournament champion.
Regular season is more prestigious and signifies a better season/achievement, but tournament champion gives you an automatic bid to the Dance. Tournaments are held in baseball for the same reason as in basketball - to generate excitement and give bubble teams (for various reasons) one last chance to make a statement.
