Georgia baseball learns its NCAA Tournament fate
The Georgia Bulldogs baseball team will be hosting a regional for the second consecutive year under second year manager Wes Johnson. Georgia baseball has officially made the NCAA Tournament and is one of 16 teams hosting a regional.
The SEC is set to host half of the regionals across the country. Georgia has already faced a ton of elite SEC competition this season.
We don't yet know if Georgia will be in-line to be super regional host (top-eight seed). The NCAA Tournament selection show will be held on Monday, May 26 at noon ET. Georgia has the second-best RPI in the country and is expected to be a top-eight seed according to the latest projections.
The Bulldogs have an impressive resume with a 42-15 record. Georgia went 18-12 in the SEC and 29-4 at home, but just 10-10 on the road. Georgia has the most home runs (133) of any team in the country, but has had some pitching struggles at times. Georgia has not lost a series at home all season.
The regionals round of the NCAA Tournament begins on Friday, May 30. Georgia will be the top seed in the Athens Regional and will play the fourth seed in the Athens Regional in their opening game.

College football writer predicts Texas A&M to win double-digit games in 2025
Although the time for talking is nearing its conclusion, another college football analyst has predicted Texas A&M to win 10 regular-season contests in 2025. The Athletic college football writer Stewart Mandel recently predicted records for every program in the Southeastern Conference, while also attaching additional thoughts on the top contenders in the league this season. According to Mandel's projections, the Aggies will finish with a 10-2 (6-2 in SEC) overall record and a fourth-place finish to this year's campaign. While he is not the only media member predicting Texas A&M to finish with 10 wins for the first time since 2012, it is a testament to the true strength and depth of the roster in Bryan-College Station, Texas, this season and the potential the program has to break the glass ceiling finally. Here are Mandel's official 2025 SEC record predictions in the latest piece for The Athletic on Wednesday: It will not be an easy road for the Aggies this season, however. Entering his second year as Texas A&M's head coach, Mike Elko will lead his team against the No. 10 most-difficult schedule in college football in 2025. Road contests against Notre Dame, Arkansas, LSU and Texas will be challenging contests that will be integral in determining the success of the program this year. After finishing 2024 with an 8-5 (5-3 in SEC), Elko and company are seeking to rewrite the woes and demolish the stigma surrounding the Aggies' inability to close the season on the right foot. With some of the top-rated talent in the country wearing the Maroon and White in 2025, including linebacker Taurean York and offensive lineman Ar'maj Reed-Adams who rank in ESPN's Top 100 Players, Mandel believes that the Aggies are a true sleeper team heading into this season's ventures. "This is my SEC sleeper team. The Aggies quietly fielded the league's top scoring offense in conference play (29.4), and dynamic QB Marcel Reed figures to be more advanced. The backfield is deep, led by Le'Veon Moss. Yes, the defense has questions. But I like the Aggies to go on the road in Week 3 and upset Notre Dame." Before Texas A&M can make the trip to South Bend in a few weeks, the program must first take on UTSA on Saturday, August 30, at Kyle Field.

Where preseason polls, college football experts rank Georgia
The Georgia Bulldogs have high expectations entering the 2025 college football season, but Georgia is not considered the national championship or SEC championship favorites. Georgia is coming off a College Football Playoff appearance (lost to Notre Dame in the quarterfinals) and SEC championship win. The Bulldogs reloaded over the course of the offseason. Georgia added talented receivers like Zachariah Branch (USC) and Noah Thomas (Texas A&M) via the transfer portal to help projected starting quarterback Gunner Stockton. Georgia has a talented roster that coach Kirby Smart is trying to raise to the Georgia standard. The Bulldogs lost a significant amount of experienced starters in the trenches and quarterback Carson Beck this offseason, so that's why the Bulldogs aren't being ranked as the preseason No. 1 like they have been in the past. That suits coach Smart just fine. He'll consider Georgia's lower ranking to be disrespectful and use them as motivation for his team.

Eight Florida Gators named to 2025 Preseason Coaches All-SEC Team
The 2025 edition of the coaches' preseason All-SEC Teams was released on Tuesday and included eight members of Florida football's roster for the upcoming campaign. Redshirt senior offensive linemen Jake Slaughter and Austin Barber both earned first-team honors to lead the Gators, while redshirt senior defensive lineman Caleb Banks, senior kicker Trey Smack, and redshirt senior long-snapper Rocco Underwood were second-team mentions. Sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway, redshirt sophomore wide receiver Eugene Wilson III and edge defender Tyreak Sapp round out the nominations on the third team. For Slaughter, this is his seventh first-team nomination and second for an All-SEC first team while Barber earned his second preseason All-SEC first-team nomination after being named to the media's first-team selection following SEC Media Days. Banks earned his third preseason All-SEC second-team honors entering his third season in Gainesville, Smack got his second preseason All-SEC second-team call for both the place kicker and kickoff specialist positions, and Underwood also earned his second All-SEC second-team nomination following his Patrick Mannelly Award-winning campaign in 2024. Lagway got his first All-SEC honor after not being chosen by the media following SEC Media Days while Wilson, who is coming off a season-ending injury last fall, is looking to pick up where he left off. Sapp was named to the preseason Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List following a season in which he led the Gators with seven sacks and 13 tackles-for-loss for 48 yards while tied for the team lead with two forced fumbles.
