The final SEC weekend series of the season is on deck, and the Auburn Tigers want to prove to the college baseball world that they are worthy of an NCAA Tournament hosting berth.
After beginning the SEC slate by winning just one of its first five series, the Tigers have turned it up a notch by winning four straight series. Two of which were against top-five teams in South Carolina and LSU.
Those series wins caught the attention of the college baseball selection committee, but last weekend’s series sweep of the defending College World Series champions, Ole Miss, has put Auburn on a great track to get a favorable postseason seed. A series win over Missouri and a few day’s stay in Hoover next week could lead Auburn to a hosting gig, something that was unthought of this time last month.
What does Auburn’s resume look like ahead of the Missouri series? Here’s a brief rundown of Auburn’s RPI ranking, as well as a postseason outlook before the final regular season series of the season.
