preseason #1 in football who drops 2 tough games out of 6 will likely still be ranked in the teens. The same thing is happening here.
Oh, I had no idea you meant football
I don’t think Wake should be unranked, despite there being 30-35 teams with better résumés. I’d have them somewhere in the 15-20 range.
I really don’t get what the point of your hypothetical is. Yeah, the AP Poll can be like that in the first several weeks, but baseball is a much more result driven sport. There’s no such thing as the eye test in baseball

My bad. I thought I said that.
But it kind of does. WF is supremely talented with a bunch of MLB draft prospects. They have recent history and the season has yet to reach its halfway point. They’re going to get the benefit of the doubt.

Oh there definitely is..
A lot of coaches are still tinkering with their staffs and lineups this time of the year.. and if a team has 1-2 really good pitchers, they can do a lot of damage in regionals & super regionals.. and ultimately in Omaha.
In addition, maybe a really good team is just playing like shite and whoever is doing the rankings knows that they will turn it around.
So, yes, there most definitely is an eye test in baseball..
eta: I'll give you an example. Texas is not a good baseball team even if Pierce pulls a rabbit out of his arse and wins the Big 12.
