TAT: Top 25 Cumulative Pre-Season College Baseball

This originally appeared in the January 30, 2013 issue of The Arkansas Traveler.


Arkansas is No. 1 in three of the five pre-season college baseball polls. I was surprised at just how many pre-season polls there were, so to get a better picture of who was the "real" number one, I compiled this list. I awarded teams points based on their ranking in each poll (No. 1 = 25 pts., No. 2 =24 pts., No. 3 = 23 pts., ... , No. 25 = 1 pt.). Below are the results.

1. Arkansas - 122 pts.
2. North Carolina - 120 pts.
3. Vanderbilt - 110 pts.
4. LSU - 105 pts.
5. UCLA - 100 pts.
T-6. South Carolina - 94 pts.
T-6. Stanford - 94 pts.
8. Oregon - 85 pts.
T-9. North Carolina St. - 82 pts.
T-9. Oregon St. - 82 pts.
11. Kentucky - 71 pts.
T-12. Mississippi st. - 62 pts.
T-12. TCU - 62 pts.
T-14. Florida - 54 pts.
T-14. Florida St. - 54 pts.
16. Louisville - 45 pts.
17. Oklahoma - 44 pts.
18. Georgia Tech - 43 pts.
19. Arizona - 42 pts.
20. San Diego - 37 pts.
21. Rice - 36 pts.
22. Ole Miss - 22 pts.
23. Arizona St. - 21 pts.
