re: Baseball Polls 2/22: BBA #2, CB #1, Coaches not out...

Virginia is solid, no doubt. Let them be #1 now, makes no difference to me.

In case some can't open links at work.

It ends the same for every ACC team.

So how does this poll make sense. Stanford sweeps 3 games from Rice yet Rice is #9 and Stanford is #18. That makes perfect sense did Rice only get 2 outs per inning or did Stanford get to use only there 2,3, and 4 hitters over and over?

---

Its all about where teams start. Stanford went from unranked (I believe) to 18. Would it make sense to drop Rice to #19? Thats a 14 spot drop, which is huge considering only 3 games have been played.

every team with a win should be ranked ahead of rice!!!!!arrrgggh!!!

Why the hatred of RICE?

it was a joke.

I was wondering. Just banging on the retards, eh?

Winning 2 out of 3 on the road against E. Carolina is more impressive then a sweep of Centenary at this point

---

Winning on the road in baseball is overrated, unless you win in a hostile environment. Most schools don't qualify.

Winning against E. Carolina instead of Centenary isn't overrated.
Also, just to clarify, if LSU had been ranked ahead of Virginia last week, they would be again this week, but their wins weren't impressive enough to overtake Virginia, really that simple.
