Clearly this was "Fix the Rankings" Monday for the D1 crew.

Some pretty violent shifts.

That's why I like baseball polls

they're typically unafraid to make big moves to correct pre-season guesswork.

Yeah, I'm going to withold judgement for now. It's easy to look good when Small and Ginn are basically shutting everyone down.

I think you’ll start seeing teams settle a little bit as we get through the second weekend of conference play.

Auburn is #12. Cant take your foot off the gas in this league.

Are you being serious? That is kind of the hallmark of a good team when you have a couple of weekend aces that can darn near guarantee you a series win every week.

You keep witholding that judgement and you might miss a great baseball team at State.

Yeah. They even say so in the story.

WTF? Why weren't the prior week losses taken into account in the prior week rankings? It's like they just went with their pre-season rankings until this week and this is their first real regular season rankings. Which probably isn't a bad way to do it if this were really their first regular season rankings.

Agree, but, in baseball, the number of games offers a significantly higher sample size to work off of. Also, in baseball teams are more likely to lose games, so it's easier to create some separation.

After the first weekend of SEC play we're the top hitting team in the league and our pitching is near the bottom.

I sort of don't blame D1 for UF's ranking. They took the approach.. hey, their midweek pitching hasn't been great but college baseball is built for weekend play and we still think that's elite.

Now after one weekend of SEC play they're like... ok we were wrong.

One of the more surprising teams in this new poll is NC State jumping from 20 to 6. I know they swept FSU, but FL beat FSU like a drum too...

Florida is going to be a team to be dealt with late in the season. They have quite a few freshmen that are already good and their weekend starters are legit. If they get their bullpen straightened out and those freshmen continue to do well, they are going to be tough.

I agree with you. I think this'll be a very good looking series win come tourney time.

NC State won 2 and lost 1 vs FSU, but that was NC State's first loss of the season. They were getting the "we will see if they can beat someone good before ranking them high" treatment like Tennessee. UT didn't and NC State did, and NC State was bumped up accordingly.

Beating FSU and losing 2 of 3 (with 1 loss by only 1 run) to the #2 team isn't enough to drop a team 9 spots in the rankings by itself.

My comment was about Lemonis and whether he is a "bust" hire. Lemonis didn't recruit Small and Ginn. He hasn't developed them. He's putting them on the mound and letting them roll. You're ready to extend the man's contract?

“Yeah, I'm going to withold judgement for now. It's easy to look good when Small and Ginn are basically shutting everyone down.”

This is a confusing take. So you are “withholding judgement “ until we aren’t doing well?

Lemonis is a big reason why Ginn didn't sign with the Dodgers though. And based on Small's improvement and how Ginn is performing right now he and Foxhall should get a lot of credit for that.

If we get ranked #1, will Florida fans tell us he is the best coach we could ever hope to have?

NC State moves from 20 to 6 for sweeping a team your own poll says is the #21 team in the nation? So where did the 6 come from? It isn't like they swept a team your poll has in the top 10 (or 15).

The only way the NC State and Florida moves make sense is that D1 is pretty much admitting they've mailed it in on every poll between the preseason poll and now, and they're catching up on a month of work in this one poll.
