SEC baseball preseason power rankings

Where does Auburn baseball stack up in the powerhouse of the SEC?

Per usual, the SEC will be a powerhouse in baseball as the conference has nine teams ranked in the week one top 25. 

Seven of the top ten teams heading into the 2023 baseball season come from the SEC. 

It's crazy to think that Auburn is currently predicted to be a two-seed in the regionals, and the Tigers are ranked toward the bottom of the SEC preseason.  

Let's take a look at our SEC baseball week one power rankings.

These power rankings are hard to make since the SEC is so good, and there are so many transfers into the conference. After watching these teams in action, we will get a good feeling of how the conference will stack up. 

LSU and Tennessee are interchangeable at one and two. Tennessee lost a lot of production but also returned a few bats and some dominant arms. 

LSU brought in the country's best transfer class, which has them ranked as the best team in the land preseason. 

Auburn has a chance to have another big season but will have a big hole to fill with Sonny DiChiara leaving for the pros. 

The hole will be filled by a few transfer bats with some pop in Justin Kirby and Cooper McMurray. 

We are T-Minus 24 hours away from SEC baseball on the Plains and throughout the SEC.
