Newest D1 Rankings: UNC at No. 8

I think edge of national seed contention is probably correct as a ceiling for this team unless multiple guys really start to figure it out at the plate, which is certainly a possibility. I’d rather be waiting on offense to come along than pitching.
I think 8 for UNC is generous at this point.
Which is why the media-based polling has become so outdated: It’s more about dropping folks for losses than it is about actual team ability.
It's so early. Tennessee will be fine. The weather had to really set them back as well. It's going be interesting without Toney V around but I have family in Tennessee so I don't have to despise them as much now.
It’s not like the AP poll for football and basketball, I agree, but it still feels the same with how it’s put together.
I've seen you mention weather a lot as a reason for teams being behind. Is this not what the indoor facilities are for?
You can pitch and hit in isolation indoors, but you can’t run full-field stuff with real, live at bats.
Strongly disagree. These guys know the sport inside out and are very transparent about their process. They do a weekly podcast explaining their rankings. They've been straightforward about not being very reactionary early in the season. Comparing the D1 poll to the AP poll in football and basketball shows a lack of understanding of how D1 Baseball covers this sport.
It is a testament to our program-our Coaching staff and the consesus nationally that we have a top tier Pitching staff. We have scored some runs
Of course this time of year it does not mean much-but boy it is great to be on the radar for Hosting
