Forgot to post the writer's poll from NCBWA
1. Arkansas
2. Vanderbilt
3. Mississippi State
4. Texas
5. Tennessee
6. TCU
7. Texas Tech
8. Florida
9. Oregon
10. East Carolina
11. Notre Dame
12. Arizona
13. Louisville
14. Stanford
15. Louisiana Tech
16. Mississippi
17. Florida State
18. Charlotte
19. UCLA
20. Southern Miss
21. South Carolina
22. Pittsburgh
23. Oregon State
24. Gonzaga
25. Old Dominion
26. UC Irvine
27. Indiana
28. Arizona State
29. Fairfield
Baylor
By conference: SEC 7, Pac-12 6, ACC 4, Big 12 4, Conference USA 4,
American Athletic 1, Big Ten 1, Big West 1, MAAC 1
I believe this poll is likely the most dead on of the five
There are 4 ACC schools ranked, which is 2 too many.
The conference RPI rankings are:
1. SEC (duh)
2. Big12
3. ACC
4. PAC-12
5. C-USA
6. American Athletic
7. Missouri Valley
8. Mountain West
9. Sun Belt
10.Southern
11.West Coast
12.Big Ten
13. Big East
14. MAAC
15.Big West (bad year for this conference of course)
16.Colonial
17.OVC
18.Southland
19.America East
20.Big South
Big West is having an epically bad season as this conference has traditional powers like Long Beach Dirtbags, Fullerton, UCSB and Irving in their numbers) Not sure what the explanation is.
I believe the ACC's ranking may be inflated because of playing a mostly conference only schedule. This is why Fairfield is so high in RPI as well. The ACC's strongest traditional teams are sucking on a hose right now (FSU, Miami, Clemson, Virginia, UNC, Wake) There are only 2 teams in the RPI top 25 (Notre Dame and Miami) The lion's share is bunches up in that mediocre 25-50 range. With no team above 91st. Miami had a great opening weekend series win at Florida in 3 close games and have been very streaky since. They were shelled 3 straight by FSU who may be the ACC's best hope in post season play. Pitt has been a surprise but there schedule has been knocked askey with cancellations. Notre Dame has not played or beaten an RPI top-25 team and they have none scheduled. 2-1 series win at Pitt was their best wins.
Big12 is easily the 2nd best. 9 teams. 3 are bad (KState , Kansas, WVU) The rest are pretty good. OU struggled in Frisco tourney) TCU and Texas have baby soft schedule remaining
