Right behind the Vols is Kentucky. For only the second time in program history, the Wildcats claim a share of the SEC regular-season title.
3. Texas A&M (4)
We finally got to see Texas A&M and Arkansas in a great matchup where the Aggies had four homers and 14 runs on 15 hits in a run-rule win on Sunday to clinch the series.
