Week 2 of the SEC baseball season saw the Texas vs. Auburn series take center stage, determining the top of the power ranking standings. So far, every team has at least one win — something that didn't happen until May last season.
There are also no SEC teams remaining with fewer than two conference losses, and 12 of the 16 teams have at least one series win.

Week 3 will bring several rivalry series as teams jockey for position in the conference.
