SEC Gets Embarrassed Again In College Baseball World Series

The SEC faced yet another embarrassment this past weekend in the College Baseball World Series. And it comes on the heels of one of the most embarrassing off-field performances in recent memory at their media days.

What's become obvious about the SEC, which now includes Texas and Oklahoma, is that beyond the teams' ability to win every single hypothetical, on-paper matchup, they can never have enough advantages or preferential treatment. 

The utter meltdown over one year of the College Football Playoff selection not going their way is still ongoing, for example.

Then there's the College Baseball World Series. After lobbying heavily for the overwhelming strength of the conference, mostly by playing each other and complaining about how hard it is, the SEC got 13 teams into the first round. That first round was just completed over the weekend. And spoiler alert: it did not go well for the SEC.

Of the 13 teams the SEC sent to the College Baseball World Series, a remarkable nine lost in the first round. 

Even better, it wasn't just the sheer number of teams that lost, but the perceived quality that made the SEC's flameout so spectacular. 

No. 1 Vanderbilt and No. 2Texas both lost, the first time since national seeding started in 1999 that the top two seeds both lost in regionals. Vanderbilt also became the first No. 1 seed in the current format to fail to reach its regional finals, and the first to lose this early since 2015. Special stuff.

The Georgia Bulldogs also lost, apparently too focused on collectively unbuttoning as many buttons as possible on their uniforms
