Baseball rankings at this point in the season are about like preseason football polls. Don't mean very much
They mean nothing and they mean everything all at once. When you have a committee selects the top 8 teams and additional 8 host teams, preception is key. They are going to be more forgiving to teams that they feel are good (i.e. that were in top 5 preseason). LSU football in 2007 doesn't get back into the title game after the 2nd loss if they weren't ranked so high to start the season. But the pollsters new that LSU had one of the top teams so by virtue of other teams' losses, LSU was able to climb back in.

Right, and the perception of LSU baseball is very high. LSU gets the benefit of the doubt. They have won 6 World Series and would sell out every single game in post season play.
My point in saying they don't mean anything was referring to the fact that we are 11 games in the season out of 56 and haven't started conference play yet. There is a ton of baseball yet to be played.
