Curious on everybody's thoughts. I know LSU would be at the top. How would you rank the others?

Just throwing up a quick formula that rewards 1 point for each NCAA Tournament appearance, 3 points for each College World Series appearance, and 10 points for each national title, it looks like this:

1. LSU- 162
2. S Carolina- 87
2. Florida- 87
4. Miss St- 85
5. Arkansas- 67
6. Texas A&M- 58
7. Vanderbilt- 56
8. Ole Miss- 53
9. Missouri- 50
10. Georgia- 43
11. Auburn- 42
12. Alabama- 41
13. Tennessee- 31
14. Kentucky- 8

LSU has carried the water for the conference. Historically UF, MSU have been the next two regular contenders.

CWS appearances >10 with titles and impact historically in the SEC.

1. LSU
2. State
3. Florida
4. USCe

CWS appearances title or not.
5. Arky (win a title and you in)
6. Vandy
7. TAMU
8. UGA
9. Tenn
10. Auburn
11. Bama
12. Ole Miss
13. Kentucky
14. MIzzou

Texas and OU move into the top 5 next year. They should just play it in Birmingham from now on.

So I looked at how things look just in the Super Regional Era (1999-2023):

1 pt for a season ending with an NCAA Regional loss
2 pts for a season ending with a loss in the Super Regionals
5 pts for a season ending with a loss in the CWS, but not making it to the Championship series
8 pts for a seasons ending with a loss in the Championship Series
20 pts for a season ending with a National title

1. LSU- 112
2. Texas- 102
3. S Carolina- 87
4. Florida- 83
5. Vanderbilt- 79
6. Miss St- 60
7. Arkansas- 55
8. Ole Miss- 48
9. Texas A&M- 39
10. Oklahoma- 29
11. Georgia- 26
12. Tennessee- 24
13. Auburn- 23
14. Alabama- 21
15. Missouri- 9
16. Kentucky- 8

Including Texas and Oklahoma...........

"Historically by success" is defined by more than just CWS titles, although that's the ultimate award. Overall winning, appearances in the CWS, conference titles, etc., must be taken into account.

Therefore, JetDawg's ranking of the most successful baseball programs within the SEC are...................

#1 -- Texas (38 appearances, 6x CWS champs)
#2 -- LSU (19 appearances, 7x CWS champs)
#3 -- Oklahoma (11 appearances, 2x CWS champs)
#4 -- South Carolina (11 appearances, 2x CWS champs)
#5 -- Florida (13 appearances, 1x CWS champ)
#6 -- Mississippi State (12 appearances, 1x CWS champ)
#7 -- Vanderbilt (5 appearances, 2x CWS champs)
#8 -- Georgia (6 appearances, 1x CWS champs
#9 -- Arkansas (11 appearances, 2x CWS runner-ups)
#10 - Alabama (5 appearances, 2x CWS runner-ups)

I think we should be ranked by number of SEC wins.
