1. Ole Miss Rebels: Ole Miss entered the SEC Tournament on the verge of hosting, and its run cemented that. Winning series against Vanderbilt and Auburn before taking down Florida, Arkansas and LSU is quite a way to establish yourself as a team.
However, it was rewarded with a tough draw, as each of the other three teams put up gaudy offensive numbers.
The Rebels survived with timely hitting a good pitching down the stretch, but they're vulnerable if the game becomes a slugfest.
2. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: Speaking of teams that will thrive in a slugfest, look no further than the ACC regular-season champs, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
They ranked 11th in OPS and 14th in batting average nationally, but they're not all offense. The duo of Brady Jones and Tate McKee can be electric on the mound, and they're backed up by an elite reliever in Mason Patel.
3. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers: The offensive barrage continues with the Hilltoppers, who slugged their way to a CUSA Championship.
Their starting pitcher duo of Drew Whalen and Jack Bennett also led a staff that ranked third in ERA and ninth in WHIP.
The only drawback to Western Kentucky is its lack of competition. It's impressive on paper but ranked 217th in strength of schedule.
The Hilltoppers do own victories over Kentucky and DBU but dropped matchups to Louisville and Vanderbilt. Given those results, they may challenge the Yellow Jackets.
4. Murray State Racers: Rounding out this gauntlet of sluggers are the Murray State Racers. The Racers outslugged their opposition on the way to a Missouri Valley Conference Tournament title.
Interestingly enough, the Racers are familiar with two of the other teams in this region, as they defeated Western Kentucky, 2-1, and lost to Ole Miss, 9-8.
However, this second meeting against the Rebels may go very differently, as they are likely to see one of their top two starting pitchers instead of a midweek arm.
