Deadspin | Scotland’s World Cup roster spans 24 years in age  Rangers’ Findlay Curtis celebrates scoring their first goal against Panathinaikos in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round in Glasgow on July 22, 2025.   Scotland manager Steve Clarke announced his 26-man World Cup roster on Tuesday, which spans from 19-year-old attacker Findlay Curtis to 43-year-old goalkeeper Craig Gordon.  Gordon made the roster despite being sidelined since January by a shoulder injury, while Curtis earned his spot after scoring five times in 14 appearances with Kilmarnock on loan from Rangers.   “It’s always difficult when you have goalkeepers not playing regularly. But we’ve had good reports back from Hearts,” Clarke told reporters. “He’s training very well and he assures us he’s fully fit. He’s shown a tremendous resilience. He deserves to be there. If he was to struggle, we have the option to change them.  “(Curtis) has got something a little bit different to what we’ve got. He’s shown he can score a goal, he’s finished the season in a great place and it’s nice to have a young one in the squad.”  Striker Ross Stewart also makes his return for Scotland after not appearing for the team since 2022. He has 11 goals in 33 appearances for Southampton this season.  “(Stewart) was in my squad a few years ago, showed he could come up to this level. He’s had a terrible run with injury, but from January onwards he’s hit a rich vein of form,” Clarke said. “He’s shown he can score big goals in big games. The Arsenal game in the cup showed he can have an impact on games of that level. He’s a striker in form, so I decided to add him to the group.”  Udinese midfielder Lennon Miller was arguably the most notable omission from the roster. The 19-year-old made his international debut in March but did not play in two friendlies that month. Forwards Oli McBurnie and Kieron Bowie were also passed over in favor of Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes.  “I had five very difficult conversations,” Clarke said. “I know how they’ll be feeling. (Miller) had been in a few squads, maybe felt he was going to be a regular. I just felt with the balance of the midfield it was better to take an extra forward than a midfield player.”   Scotland is preparing for its first World Cup appearance in 28 years. The squad will play a friendly at home against Curacao on May 30 before traveling to the United States ahead of a game against Bolivia in New Jersey on June 6.  The team’s World Cup base camp will be in Charlotte, N.C. Scotland open Group C play against Haiti on June 13 in Boston. The schedule includes matches against Morocco in Boston on June 19 and Brazil in Miami on June 24.

The SEC baseball tournament gets underway later today in Hoover, Alabama.

And you might want to pay attention.

As is often the case, the SEC baseball tournament sports a very deep field. According to the latest projections, 12 teams from the conference are expected to earn spots in the field of 64 come Selection Monday, but teams that are on the outside looking in — like Vanderbilt — could help themselves with a deep run down in Hoover.

But at the top of the conference, teams like Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, Auburn, and Alabama are looking to lock down spots as regional hosts in the field of 64.

Here is everything you need to know about the 2026 SEC baseball tournament.

What is the format for the SEC baseball tournament?

The SEC baseball championship is a 16-team, single-elimination tournament. All 16 teams are entered.

The top four teams in the conference — Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, and Alabama — are seeded No. 1 through No. 4, and all receive byes to the Quarterfinals, which begin on Thursday. The next four teams in the standings — Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, and Mississippi State — are seeded No. 5 through No. 8 and receive byes to the second round.

The remaining eight teams will meet in the first round.

All games are single elimination, building to Sunday’s SEC Championship Game.

What are the seeds for the SEC baseball tournament?

Here are the seeds for the SEC baseball tournament, along with conference record:

1. Georgia (24-6)
2. Texas (19-10)
3. Texas A&M (18-11)
4. Alabama (18-12)
5. Florida (18-12)
6. Auburn (17-13)
7. Arkansas (17-13)
8. Mississippi State (16-14)
9. Ole Miss (15-15)
10. Tennessee (15-15)
11. Oklahoma (14-16)
12. Vanderbilt (14-16)
13. Kentucky (13-17)
14. LSU (9-21)
15. South Carolina (7-23)
16. Missouri (6-24)

What is the bracket for the SEC baseball tournament?

Here is the SEC baseball tournament bracket, courtesy of the conference:

Who are the favorites for the SEC baseball tournament?

As is often the case, the SEC has one of the deepest conferences in all of college baseball.

According to the latest projections for the field of 64, the conference is expected to see 12 teams in the overall field come Selection Monday. Five SEC teams — Georgia, Texas, Auburn, Alabama, and Texas A&M — are expected to be top eight seeds in the field. In addition Mississippi State and Florida are projected to be regional hosts.

Georgia is the top seed in the tournament, and with good reason. The Bulldogs posted a 23-7 record in SEC play, and finished 43-12 overall. Georgia also can lean on the SEC Player of the Year in catcher Daniel Jackson, who secured the conference Triple Crown with a .394 batting average, 27 home runs, and 77 runs batted in. Jackson was one of four Bulldogs to earn All-SEC honors, along with third baseman Tre Phelps, outfielder Rylan Lugo, and shortstop Kolby Branch, who was an All-SEC Second-Team selection.

Jackson is also the first catcher in Division 1 history to post a 25/25 season, as he added 25 stolen bases along with his 27 home runs.

Texas comes into the tournament as the No. 2 seed, and the Longhorns are a balanced squad with some of the top arms in the conference. But Texas also has some youth, as outfielder Anthony Pack Jr. was named the SEC Freshman of the Year after slashing .360/.479/.559 while swiping 20 bases. The Longhorns also have freshman closer Sam Cozart, who posted an ERA of 1.59 along with a WHIP of 0.640, securing eight saves over the season.

Then there is ace Dylan Volantis. The lefty was a First-Team All-SEC selection for the second consecutive season, after finishing the year with an 8-1 record and an ERA of 2.05. He posted a WHIP of 0.991 and notched 105 strikeouts, third-most in the SEC.

But again, this is a very deep conference. Any of the top seeds in the SEC tournament, including Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, and Mississippi State, could make a deep run this week in Hoover.

The SEC baseball tournament gets underway later today in Hoover, Alabama.

And you might want to pay attention.

As is often the case, the SEC baseball tournament sports a very deep field. According to the latest projections, 12 teams from the conference are expected to earn spots in the field of 64 come Selection Monday, but teams that are on the outside looking in — like Vanderbilt — could help themselves with a deep run down in Hoover.

But at the top of the conference, teams like Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, Auburn, and Alabama are looking to lock down spots as regional hosts in the field of 64.

Here is everything you need to know about the 2026 SEC baseball tournament.

What is the format for the SEC baseball tournament?

The SEC baseball championship is a 16-team, single-elimination tournament. All 16 teams are entered.

The top four teams in the conference — Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, and Alabama — are seeded No. 1 through No. 4, and all receive byes to the Quarterfinals, which begin on Thursday. The next four teams in the standings — Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, and Mississippi State — are seeded No. 5 through No. 8 and receive byes to the second round.

The remaining eight teams will meet in the first round.

All games are single elimination, building to Sunday’s SEC Championship Game.

What are the seeds for the SEC baseball tournament?

Here are the seeds for the SEC baseball tournament, along with conference record:

1. Georgia (24-6)
2. Texas (19-10)
3. Texas A&M (18-11)
4. Alabama (18-12)
5. Florida (18-12)
6. Auburn (17-13)
7. Arkansas (17-13)
8. Mississippi State (16-14)
9. Ole Miss (15-15)
10. Tennessee (15-15)
11. Oklahoma (14-16)
12. Vanderbilt (14-16)
13. Kentucky (13-17)
14. LSU (9-21)
15. South Carolina (7-23)
16. Missouri (6-24)

What is the bracket for the SEC baseball tournament?

Here is the SEC baseball tournament bracket, courtesy of the conference:

Who are the favorites for the SEC baseball tournament?

As is often the case, the SEC has one of the deepest conferences in all of college baseball.

According to the latest projections for the field of 64, the conference is expected to see 12 teams in the overall field come Selection Monday. Five SEC teams — Georgia, Texas, Auburn, Alabama, and Texas A&M — are expected to be top eight seeds in the field. In addition Mississippi State and Florida are projected to be regional hosts.

Georgia is the top seed in the tournament, and with good reason. The Bulldogs posted a 23-7 record in SEC play, and finished 43-12 overall. Georgia also can lean on the SEC Player of the Year in catcher Daniel Jackson, who secured the conference Triple Crown with a .394 batting average, 27 home runs, and 77 runs batted in. Jackson was one of four Bulldogs to earn All-SEC honors, along with third baseman Tre Phelps, outfielder Rylan Lugo, and shortstop Kolby Branch, who was an All-SEC Second-Team selection.

Jackson is also the first catcher in Division 1 history to post a 25/25 season, as he added 25 stolen bases along with his 27 home runs.

Texas comes into the tournament as the No. 2 seed, and the Longhorns are a balanced squad with some of the top arms in the conference. But Texas also has some youth, as outfielder Anthony Pack Jr. was named the SEC Freshman of the Year after slashing .360/.479/.559 while swiping 20 bases. The Longhorns also have freshman closer Sam Cozart, who posted an ERA of 1.59 along with a WHIP of 0.640, securing eight saves over the season.

Then there is ace Dylan Volantis. The lefty was a First-Team All-SEC selection for the second consecutive season, after finishing the year with an 8-1 record and an ERA of 2.05. He posted a WHIP of 0.991 and notched 105 strikeouts, third-most in the SEC.

But again, this is a very deep conference. Any of the top seeds in the SEC tournament, including Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, and Mississippi State, could make a deep run this week in Hoover.

Arsenal secured its fourth Premier League title after Manchester City drew 1-1 against Bournemouth in their clash on Wednesday.

The result leaves Pep Guardiola’s side on 78 points with one gameweek left, which means that it can no longer catch the Gunners, who have 82.

Arsenal last lifted the trophy in the 2003-04 ‘invincible’ season, where it went the whole campaign unbeaten under the leadership of Arsene Wenger.

Viktor Gyokeres is the top scorer for the London club with 14 goals in the league this season, while Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard lead the assist charts with six apiece. At the back, David Raya secured his third consecutive Golden Glove award after keeping 19 clean sheets.

It is also a first league title for manager Mikel Arteta, who joined the club in 2019 after serving three and a half seasons as a deputy for Guardiola.

With the title secured, Arsenal will now shift its focus to the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 final, where it will take on defending champion Paris Saint-Germain.
