The Georgia Bulldogs remain at the No. 4 spot in the May 18 USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll after winning two of three games on the road against the No. 6 Auburn Tigers. The Bulldogs even earned one first-place vote.
Georgia is ranked behind No. 1 UCLA, No. 2 North Carolina and No. 3 Georgia Tech. UCLA received 28 of 30 first-place votes with Georgia Tech receiving the other.
Entering the Auburn series, Georgia had already won the SEC regular season championship. Georgia is red hot and has won 11 of its last 12 games entering the SEC Tournament.
The Bulldogs (43-12, 23-7 SEC) have lost only one SEC series all year (at home to Florida). Georgia is the only team in SEC history to win all five SEC road road series. Georgia is a lock to earn a top eight seed in the NCAA Tournament after beating Auburn on the road.
The Dawgs are the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament and an automatic berth into the quarterfinals. Georgia's opening SEC Tournament game will be at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 21 in Hoover, Alabama.
No. 24 Boston College; No. 25 Jacksonville State;
Jacksonville State 43; Wake Forest 22; Boston College 18; UC Santa Barbara 10; Oklahoma 10; Mercer 6; California Baptist 5; East Carolina 3; Miami (FL) 2; Kent State 2; UTSA 1; UCF 1; Campbell 1;
