Thanks for doing this BTW. Cool idea. I'm interested to see if we jump anyone in BA poll as Ark and Vandy dropped games this weekend.

 

[Bacon.sixpack]

Great Idea

We need more quality posters like yourself.

Collegiate Baseball just came out. Moved up one spot.

 

[engie]

Thanks for the update, Bacon -- will get it in as quickly as I can...

Engie - please do not let your job get in the way of updating this. Prioritize!

SEC expansion. UNC is #2 and look at #10 NCState. I didn't know the Wolfpack could play a little baseball too. I knew UNC could.

 

[thekimmer]

Wow. Composite rank is near top 10 but.....

Still have FIVE conference opponents ranked above us. That is freaking nuts!

 

[OBReb.sixpack]

I knew UNC could.

Until the post season starts at least.


​Enter Ole Miss post season joke here

Perfect game dropped us one? So winning 4 with a combined score of 30-3 against a decent opponent makes you lose spots?

NC State has very nice facilities, seems nicer than ours

but not sure that's saying much anymore. Here's a quick youtube video about their facility. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl5BDOM0S5o

Nicer than ours? You have REALLY got to be kidding me. There is no comparison -- especially after watching the video. They would need to spend millions to even be in the same stratosphere of what our players enjoy every day.

Some of you need to tour our actual baseball facilities before commenting on them. What you see at (an aging) Dudy Noble only makes up small percentage of the total facilities picture...

Va Tech also cracking the top 25 in many of these polls.

NC State was a regional host last year. Hardly surprising that they are good this year with Rodon returning...although he got shelled Friday night...

Not exactly. But there's a reason PG dropped MSU one place and it was more to do with another team having more impressive results than it does MSU's lack of accomplishment. Mississippi jumped from 19 to 14 and caused MSU to drop one spot.

Looks to me like Rice's impressive achievement was more responsible for the drop than yours.
