Pretty much all the big rankings are out now. 10-17 which, IMO, is generous.

I hate preseasons polls, especially for baseball where pollsters are so damn slow to move teams around because of biases and incorrect notions from previous seasons and even the fall. I'd like to see the top 10 preseason rankings compared to the CWS 8 for the last 10 years.

Not that I put a scoche of shite in preseason rankings but I don’t see how Florida gets that much respect and we don’t when they lost all of their starting pitching to the draft as well.

I’m not buying we’re only the 6th best team in the SEC

Don't really care to go back 10 years, but last year's preseason top 10 for D1 baseball was (bolded made it to Omaha):
1. TCU
2. Florida
3. FSU
4. USC - missed the NCAAT entirely
5. LSU
6. NC State - 3rd seed in Lexington Regional, lost in semis
7. Vandy - 2nd seed in Clemson regional, lost in supers to OSU
8. Oregon State
9. UNC - #2 national seed, lost in regional to Davidson
10. ECU - missed NCAAT entirely

SO 5 of the preseason top 8 advanced to Omaha. #9 was the #2 overall seed but lost in their regional. #7 lost in Supers. Big misses were ECU, USC, and Nc State. Overall, last year was pretty damn good.
