As of June 30, 2008; Rankings from Coaches' Poll

The 2008 Southeastern Conference Baseball Tournament was held at Regions Park in Hoover, AL from May 21st through May 25th. LSU won the tournament and earned the Southeastern Conference's automatic bid to the 2008 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.

The top eight teams (based on conference results) from the conference earned invites to the tournament.

The 2008 tournament will feature a "flipped bracket" for the first time. This means that after two days of play the undefeated team from each bracket will move into the other bracket. This reduces the amount of rematches teams will have to play in order to win the tournament.
