On this episode of D1 Daily, Burkie and Roons dive in on 14 "middle of the pack" SEC and ACC teams hovering around .500 in league play with three weeks left. They debate where they have the most conviction and which programs are in “low oxygen” mode. They flag NC State as a major concern due to injuries and a difficult remaining schedule, and discuss Kentucky’s need for health amid a volatile stretch.

They also touch on Kansas State’s urgency around Dee Kennedy, Florida’s high expectations tied to its pitching staff, and UC Santa Barbara’s tournament hopes behind Jackson Flora’s 0.78 ERA.
