With more games on ESPN and on the Sec network in the future this will be the main poll used when they have rankings besides teams.

Havent most collegiate baseball polls?
The preseason ones are the best.
And before Bundy has a cutie-pie comment, I would say the same thing re: the polls if OM were ranked high.

LSU really dodged a bullet by not getting Bianco.

Eh not really. But no one takes this one seriously. I don't think they really pay attention to college baseball at all.

Well you took one straight to the chest by getting ole Smoke. But yes, Manieri has been a baller.

My apologies for being misinformed. All I really remember about Smoke was my LSU buddies bitching about him for his final 2 years. Didnt realize he took 2 teams to Omaha. So yes, better than The Tiny One.

WSJ, NYTimes, LATimes, and Chicago Tribune are not. However, I would believe that many local smaller publications, like the State Newspaper are.

Agree.
Preseason Polls in just about any sport are a complete joke. This one is no exception.
But thanks anyways, USA Today!
