Polls 4/7

[haysdb]

Re: National Collegiate Baseball Writers Poll.

It was a rough weekend for the #6, 7, 9, 10 teams. #6 Vanderbilt and #7 South Carolina were both swept. #5 UC Irvine lost 2 of 3, as did #9 Long Beach State, and #10 Missouri. WSU stands to climb from 8th to 7th or 6th.

Arizona State probably falls out of the #1 spot after losing 2 of 3 to Stanford. #2 Miami swept #17 Clemson and #3 Florida State swept #12 Virginia, so they both probably jump ahead of ASU. These top 3 teams now have a total of 8 losses between them, and a combined record of 34-7 against to top 50.

Miami plays Florida State 4/18-4/20. That would be a fun series to watch.

I'm always impressed when people can admit mistakes, especially in a public forum.

Seriously, how many College Baseball polls are out there and how many of them actually mean something for the post-season?

A lot, and none.

There are four major polls: Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, NCBWA, and USA Today Coaches Poll.

The rest are all secondary.

None of them mean very much at all.

The only thing they are any good for seeding in the post-season. But Charley, Well put.

USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll moves us to #5.

Ping #5
Rivals #14
Baseball America #9
Collegiate Baseball #5
ESPN #5

So let's go with the majority with this and just say we're #5 in the country. Cause Rivals doesn't count in my book.

I noticed on the NBCWA D2 poll that Emporia St. is #7. So at least our fill in game wasn't a terrible choice. They were 26-3 when the poll came out on 4/1.
