Tuscaloosa Regional Preview and Ranking SEC Quarterbacks on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's get a Tuesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez fired up as we highlight who is coming to Tuscaloosa for the baseball regional this week and then debate the top 10 quarterbacks in the SEC in 2026.

The program opens on the voicemail line as our caller discusses the expectations for the softball team before talking about this weekend's baseball regional. Does the Alabama softball team have the team to make it feel like 2012 again?

The show moves into baseball where we highlight Alabama State, USC Upstate and Oklahoma State. How favorable is the draw for the Crimson Tide? Alabama's already played Alabama State this season, so what should be the pitching plan for the weekend? We discuss the Cowboys as they're the other Power 4 program in the regional and set expecations for Alabama.

Lastly, the program ranks our top 10 starting quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference for the 2026 season. Our hosts agree on No. 1 but have widely different lists after the top spot, making for a fun discussion on the signal-callers. Does the SEC lack in star power under center? How high is the potential Alabama starting quarterback and which player do we disagree on the most?
