With one weekend remaining before conference tournaments begin, a number of conference title races are coming down to the wire. Houston, Central Florida and South Florida are in a three-way tie atop the American conference, with UCF and USF set to play each other this weekend. Texas Tech has a chance to tie atop the Big 12 with a sweep of Kansas and holds the tie-breaker over TCU thanks to a series win over the Horned Frogs, while Nebraska is currently in first place in the Big Ten, but five other teams are currently within two games of the Huskers. The closest race for this weekend though is in the SEC, where the top two teams from the SEC East and the SEC West play each other. LSU currently has a one game lead on Mississippi State in the SEC West and will travel to Starkville this weekend. Florida has a one game lead on Kentucky in the SEC East and will host the Wildcats this weekend. All four teams are in the mix to host a regional and a this weekend provides all four teams an opportunity to solidify their regional host resumes, or in the case of Florida and Kentucky, to solidify their spots as national seeds.
