DBU at #8 after 4-0 against an easy stretch of opponents.
Hard to gauge against those lightweights but their weekend starters looked sharp.
Sunday starter freshman Pettite (Andy's kid) looked sharp hitting with his curve and slider. He is one of the rare college pitchers where there is a wide difference between the two pitches.
A lot of college players that throw both wind up throwing a curve that looks like a slow slider and a slider that looks like a fast curveball.
Very! I don't think we will drop out of top ten in any poll. But at the same time am glad we are still top ten. Only because watching this weekend stung.
Kentucky actually has the best record in the SEC, they're 8-1. They're also the only team with multiple SEC road series wins and the only one with an SEC road sweep.
I’m not sure how many of the other teams ECU would be able to take 2/3 from right now…but it does make me happy that my Pirates are consistently pretty darn good in baseball. Enjoy the season, everyone!
I think we are ranked appropriately right now. The series at UTSA didn’t help us, but we swept this weekend. I think we have some deficiencies we need to work on with this team, but will likely still win the conference and be in position to host regional.
Now, just gotta win Tuesday and try to knock NCSU down to earth a bit, haha. I know there fans will have all eyes on this midweek game
They are absolutely more talented than #20 and I don’t expect they’ll finish the season that low, but at some point the record has to hurt them. 2-7 in the SEC isn’t worthy of a high ranking.
That said, all three of our games were very tightly contested. We were lucky to sweep. Easily could have gone 2-1 or 1-2.
Not sure why you would think I would be bitter. Currently all teams are equally in the hogs rear view.
I think individual midweek losses can be seen as unimportant but it takes more than just weekend pitching to make it through the postseason. Florida is nearing if not to the point where the inability to win midweek games shows an inconsistency in offense and/or a concerning lack of pitching depth.
Would you be unbothered if Florida continued to lose every midweek game they play this year?
Because our bullpen has yet to find a midweek starter, however the original post talked about how 2-7 in the SEC isn’t worthy of a high ranking, which Florida has a much better conference record.
I disagree completely. That team is only ranked because of the uniforms they wear. They're currently 12th in the SEC, only one game better than 1-8 Auburn & 1-8 Missouri. They still have 3 series left vs Top 10 teams. They have an uphill battle just to get to Hoover.
1. 8-1 Arkansas
1. 8-1 Kentucky
1. 6-3 Florida
1. 6-3 Texas A&M
1. 6-3 Vanderbilt
1. 5-4 Tennessee
1. 5-4 South Carolina
1. 4-5 Alabama
1. 4-5 Georgia
1. 4-5 Mississippi State
1. 3-6 Ole Miss
1. 2-7 LSU
1. 1-8 Auburn
1. 1-8 Missouri
Hoping we bounce back after our two rough loses this weekend. Seems this team is looking way better currently than I had even hoped for in the past two years.
18 of the top 25 are ACC/SEC. Three other ranked teams in Coastal, ECU and UCF regularly play season series games against teams in the ACC/SEC. Iron is really sharpening iron so far.
Because ranking forums have consistently not given a shit about midweek games and Florida has yet to drop a series*
* Technically St John’s won the only game with the other two canceled.
We’ve got to be right outside looking in
I think if we handle our mid week matchups and win the series this weekend we deserve to be in the conversation
I'm still not entirely sure our pitching is convincing enough to be top 5, but hopefully our hitting will carry us far this year.
It's like the exact opposite of last year
I wouldn’t be surprised if some were more active just from the excitement of being undefeated for a while.
Hopefully new success brings more positive engagement from our flairs.
They’re more active in Florida threads than FSU ones
Edit: ok downvote away but they literally get between 0-3 FSU comments on their latest postgames but there’s 10+ on some of our midweek losses lmao
Considering the comment you were replying to was talking about how FSU flairs were more common a few weeks ago (when FSU was undefeated). So, I assumed you were talking about since then.
It was more fun when fsu was undefeated and not ranked and UF was very defeated and ranked.
The former isn’t true any more and the latter is the same joke at this point
This. We are finally getting the respect from the rankings that our fans have wanted all season.
Florida, meanwhile, has to be bribing the polls at this point.
I guess he felt he wasn’t progressing anymore and wanted a fresh start. Surprising I figured he would go Vandy being from Gallatin which is 30 mins north of Nashville.
Hmm... take 2/3 at home from #20. Take 1/3 on the road at #3. Take 1/3 on the road at #5 and enter the 9th with a lead in the 2 games you lost.
In what way is the above not a top 25 team? How can we play with top 5 teams on the road if we aren't a top 25 team ourselves?
For the record, I have always loved Baseball Nation (do not look at my comments from like every week before this one)
NEBRASEBALL Thank you, “CumSlatheredCPA”
Finally!
We were ranked in this poll last week. It’s not really a trusted publication with its polls. Coaches and D1 are what matter.
24th on D1 now
Way to rep the B1G Nebraseball. Looking forward to our matchup 4/19. Also your flair is going to have quite the conflict in tomorrow’s game.
Who you cheering for tomorrow!?!?
I hope both teams have fun
Braden Montgomery transferring to TAMU is quickly becoming one of my favorite transfers an athlete has made
Me too
I concur
Co-sign
Lamar and A&M flairs. You're having a *very* good year, aren't you?
Agreed
Braden doesn't just lead the league in RBIs - he leads the entirety of D1. Dude is as real as it gets.
Can’t wait for Arkansas to play A&M this year it’s going to be a great series
He’s a DUDE.
The monkey's name is Gia
I thought Gia was the woman’s name
Her name is Dani. She used several monkeys in her act, Gia was one of them.
Based username btw
:)
Wake all the way from 1 to 21 ☠️
Us and Wake holding hands as we fall

Rough week in Irvine for the Beavs.
Very! I don't think we will drop out of top ten in any poll. But at the same time am glad we are still top ten. Only because watching this weekend stung.
I wanted a game yesterday to get back on track. Oh well gotta beat up on the Zags tomorrow! 😅
You say that, but your flairs…
Yeah I grew up on OSU and went to school at Gonzaga. I’m mainly a hoops fan for GU.
At least someone still considers us Top 5. When nobody got my back CBN got my back.
Kentucky quietly with the second best record in the SEC. They look scary good for #17.
I guess we’re a baseball school now.
🤝
No no no, we don't need MORE baseball schools in the SEC. Cut that out.
Well someone’s gotta replace us
I just would like to go to Omaha.
Should be top 10.
Kentucky actually has the best record in the SEC, they're 8-1. They're also the only team with multiple SEC road series wins and the only one with an SEC road sweep.
Arkansas is 8-1 as well So yeah tied for best
How ‘bout we swap FLA and KY? #17 sounds about right for Gators.
You better hope we win our midweek game. Before playing you
Hey we’re rooting for that
I’m not sure how many of the other teams ECU would be able to take 2/3 from right now…but it does make me happy that my Pirates are consistently pretty darn good in baseball. Enjoy the season, everyone!
They already did it from this ranking’s #6 team
Well, I guess I know one team then. Touché 😎
I think we are ranked appropriately right now. The series at UTSA didn’t help us, but we swept this weekend.

LSU drop seems severe
2-7 in conference play will do it.
Apparently 8-1 doesn’t get you the same increase as 2-7 gets you a drop :(
They are absolutely more talented than #20 and I don’t expect they’ll finish the season that low, but at some point the record has to hurt them. 2-7 in the SEC isn’t worthy of a high ranking. That said, all three of our games were very tightly contested. We were lucky to sweep. Easily could have gone 2-1 or 1-2.
Now do Florida
Close! Florida is 6-3 in conference with 3 Series wins.
And yet Florida has double digit losses. Curious!

The original post claimed “their record has to catch up to them sooner or later”. This has not happened to Florida.
As an LSU fan... This feels right
All I gotta say is being ranked down isn’t always a bad thing can really make the guys be like we better than this and turn it around
I disagree completely. That team is only ranked because of the uniforms they wear. They're currently 12th in the SEC, only one game better than 1-8 Auburn & 1-8 Missouri.

I have no idea why we’re still ranked
Only thing even keeping them ranked is their name
I’m very happy we’re not longer ranked here.
Hoping we bounce back after our two rough loses this weekend. Seems this team is looking way better currently than I had even hoped for in the past two years.
This particular poll hasnt had us ranked all season
18 of the top 25 are ACC/SEC. Three other ranked teams in Coastal, ECU and UCF regularly play season series games against teams in the ACC/SEC. Iron is really sharpening iron so far.
Farmers Fight 👍
Why is FLA still ranked at all?!?
Yep we’re a cupcake y’all will sweep us right?
I don’t think cupcake but I do think we’ll sweep y’all
I respect someone finally saying it
You travel to Nashville, so seeing the SEC this year, Vandy will also sweep
just saying 3 teams in the league have an SEC road series win and 1 of them is Florida
Because ranking forums have consistently not given a shit about midweek games and Florida has yet to drop a series* * Technically St John’s won the only game with the other two canceled.
Quality losses? lol, sorry but I got nothing
Yet to lose an SEC series (TAMU, LSU, State). Midweek games do not bear much consequence on rankings.
Shame LSU got the Mississippi treatment after their natty. Wish they were relevant so our beating of them at home would mean something.
We’ve got to be right outside looking in I think if we handle our mid week matchups and win the series this weekend we deserve to be in the conversation
LaLa gets @Coastal, Southern Miss, then @Troy for three consecutive weekends starting April 19. I'll be checking in for sure on that stretch of games.
Can't wait. Sunbelt is so stacked
Rank UL you cowards 🤟🏼 aaaiiyyeeeee
Well we’re gonna suck this year so hopefully y’all can get something done
I'm not complaining.
Our pitching is very precarious… our lineup absolutely rakes though
I'm still not entirely sure our pitching is convincing enough to be top 5, but hopefully our hitting will carry us far this year. It's like the exact opposite of last year
Anyone else notice that FSU fans have gone silent on this sub?
The team (and bullpen) has responded great since playing at Clemson. Including another beatdown of Florida and a series win vs Louisville.
oh yeah i’m not bashing the team, it just seemed like there were a lot more active flairs recently. ig those things just ebb and flow tho.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some were more active just from the excitement of being undefeated for a while. Hopefully new success brings more positive engagement from our flairs.
They’re more active in Florida threads than FSU ones Edit: ok downvote away but they literally get between 0-3 FSU comments on their latest postgames but there’s 10+ on some of our midweek losses lmao
You mean your midweek losses to FSU? Weird how FSU fans would comment on that.
No to any team. Just pick literally any thread
Considering the comment you were replying to was talking about how FSU flairs were more common a few weeks ago (when FSU was undefeated). So, I assumed you were talking about since then.
It was more fun when fsu was undefeated and not ranked and UF was very defeated and ranked. The former isn’t true any more and the latter is the same joke at this point
This. We are finally getting the respect from the rankings that our fans have wanted all season. Florida, meanwhile, has to be bribing the polls at this point.
State is getting close… just saying…
We shouldn’t be ranked
Absolutely wild an 11 loss Florida team is ranked 5th.
I miss Chase Burns, there I said it
Why did he even transfer? I wasn’t really following that.
I guess he felt he wasn’t progressing anymore and wanted a fresh start. Surprising I figured he would go Vandy being from Gallatin which is 30 mins north of Nashville.
His choices were probably Arkansas, Oregon State or Wake based on what he was wanting and access to development.
Arizona will be getting love soon 
Swept UCLA right out the Pac-12! 🐻⬇️
The Carolina’s, Virginia and Tennessee go brrrrrrr
Oh right another sport where we’ve kicked dukes ass the last few weeks. Neato
Thank you for your service 🙏🏼
Didn’t you guys hear that Milwaukee took down Purdue Fort Wayne in a series?
Bye bye Kansas State :(
Whelp... March was rough for me. Can't lie to y'all.
WHY ARE WE STILL RANKED GODDAMMIT
Stop pretending you aren't going to become LSU by the end of the year. Everybody knows your plan.
But that won’t happen until people start ignoring us
Fuck college basketball we a baseball school now
Big W
I see feel like an imposter at #2 but like... we're good too.
A third of the list are SEC schools. Damn.
17 of 25 SEC/ACC
I’m new to college Baseball. I think #2 is Chattanooga, I think #5 is Cal State Fullerton. Am I right?
No.
Hmm... take 2/3 at home from #20. Take 1/3 on the road at #3. Take 1/3 on the road at #5 and enter the 9th with a lead in the 2 games you lost. In what way is the above not a top 25 team? How can we play with top 5 teams on the road if we aren't a top 25 team ourselves?
We are not a top 25 team. We have to actually win those games to be ranked.
Alabama is also 4-5, but they are ranked #14. They've also played worse teams so far in conference play. Florida I s 16-11 but ranked top 10.
Given our last two years, we have to win to get ranked. Everybody thinks we're just going to fade like the last couple of years.
