SEC Baseball Tournament 2019: Bracket, Schedule, Format, Team Rosters, Standings

How competitive is the SEC this baseball season? Well, half of D1Baseball.com's top 10 for RPI rankings are from the conference, and there are 10 teams in the Top 25. That's more than half of the conference, which has 14 schools.

In a little more than a week, the SEC tournament will decide which team from the conference will receive an automatic bid for this year's NCAA tourney.

There has been an SEC team in the College World Series finals in 10 of the past 11 seasons, while five conference teams have won the championship in that span. 

This year, there's a strong chance it could also be an SEC team celebrating a College World Series championship in Omaha, Neb., in June. But there are still games to be played between conference teams before they take on the best from other conferences.
