How is it that TWO GUYS carry so much weight in college baseball? TWO GUYS set their rankings and their rankings are linked from the NCAA web site and constantly shown on televised college games repeatedly. Why?
Furthermore, the TWO GUYS are clearly extremely biased. For the past several seasons they have shown that they are more than in love with Ms State. For Ms State to be ranked 8th this week is beyond a joke. Compare them to Arkansas. Arkansas has a better conference record, a better overall record, a SIGNIFICANTLY higher RPI, and SWEPT them when they played this season - yet Arkansas was ranked 17th and Ms State was ranked 8th. They are NOWHERE NEAR 8th. Their RPI is a pretty good indicator of where they should be - about 30th. They have a good team - but should be a 3 seed in a regional somewhere.
Also, compare how many articles they write about Ms State to most teams. It's out of hand. Not sure if they are getting paid off or what - but they have ZERO CREDIBILITY.
That's why EVERYONE should pay ZERO ATTENTION to a poll decided by TWO GUYS. If either or both are corrupt then it should not influence what happens in a sport played by thousands of kids at hundreds of schools.

I only look to D1baseball for scores & schedules. As long as they can get that right, that's fine with me.

I'm pretty sure D1Baseball has more writers than Fitt and Rogers.
What annoys me about the site is that everything worth reading is behind a paywall and it's too slow to load to be a quick score checker.

D1Baseball now provides news, analysis and commentary from the sport’s most prominent writers: Aaron Fitt, Kendall Rogers, Mark Etheridge, Eric Sorenson, Shotgun Spratling, Michael Baumann and Dustin McComas. ESPN’s lead college baseball analyst, former Stanford All-American Kyle Peterson, leads the team.
I think only 2 do the rankings.
