Carolina #2 This Week

BC making a push up the rankings....and interesting the gap for Virginia between the two polls......
Ranking 8-25 in baseball is abt impossible. Makes it nice to have multiple publications with some variance. But like in hoops, tournament/host site resume can be far from the rankings. Don’t see why it is, but thankful more groups have gotten into bracketology for us to consider alongside rankings
The BA Virginia ranking seems weird. But then their RPI is 19th and their record is a fairly pedestrian 28-13. They seem to have lost a lot of the mojo they had when they played us (4-6 over their last 10). Definitely a team nobody wants as their 2nd seed in a Regional.
Very reminiscent of pollards teams at Duke, would always seem to lose steam as the year went on.
Definitely in 2013, we were #1 overall seed that year.
Heels were ranked #1 by D1Baseball after the ACC tournament last season, but we received the #5 national seed in the NCAA tournament a day later.
16th, ours is 19. Two top-50 series in conference so far (Michigan & USC) with Oregon still to go. Unfortunately they don't play Nebraska
Played 3 vs TCU non-conference and swept through Tennessee/Arkansas/Mississippi State at the event in Texas.
SOS will likely drop the next two weeks with series vs sub-100 teams.
We’re 3 in DSR which they’re using this year. We’ll be a 3-6 seed assuming nothing catastrophic happens to end the year
Take care of business this week but Pitt is going to be a desperate team after getting swept at FSU .
I get their record… but they’re not a baseball program and have been mediocre in a “second tier” big 12 for most of their existence.
I see they made the tourney last year for the first time in 11 years… and promptly got bounced in 2 games. Guessing a lot of that team came back??
Brings in the question....are polls for that specific season or career achievement awards?
I say the former. But there's clearly a debate to be had when viewing them...and there are even differences in the many pollsters out there
Kansas is up there the same reason we’re #2. If you don’t lose they don’t drop you.
I see their RPI is 14… double their ranking. And they’ve yet to play WVU, the next best team in the big12. Guess it will all shake out in the postseason…
Kansas is 16-8 vs Q1/Q2 (we're 17-8 for reference) and is leading the Big 12 by 4 games. Why wouldn't they be up there?
Every time I hear Kansas baseball I think about that absolute bomb Garrett Gore hit against them in the regional when they came here.
