Toughest JUCO conference?

Sun Coast Conference in Florida. Or Region 8 which is all of Florida.

My son has played in the Ga. JUCO conf and Tenn JUCO conf (freshman and sophomore years respectfully) with schools like Young Harris (Ga), Middle Ga, Ga Perimeter, Walters State, Cleveland State, Chattanooga State.

As tough as these teams are, IMO, Florida has the toughest all around conference Ive seen yet. Their year-end Conference championship is unbelievable. I think if you look at the Top 25 rankings anytime during the year you will see maybe up to 6 Florida JUCO's ranked at any given time.

Alabama would probably rank 2nd and very closely behind at that. South Carolina and North Carolina are like Georgia where they usually have 2-3 teams that dominate the rest of the conference year in-year out.

I'm sure others (CA, TX, Carolinas, others) are tough, but will say the all the FL teams seem pretty darn tough. Very competitive from top to bottom in each of the FL conferences.

In the current JUCO Top 50 there are:

9 from Texas
7 from California
4 from Florida
3 from Oklahoma
2 from Alabama
2 from Georgia

Regions X and XIV (Texas) no doubt. Records and quality of baseball speak for themselves. The Texas JCs play in Region X and XIV along with JUCOS from New Mexico and Louisiana. Their Regional Tournaments are more competitive than the World Series. Region X or Region XIV teams have won ll of the last twenty JUCO World Series.
