That with all of their money and power and national presence; and our tiny fraction of any of that; we are not only competing with them, we are passing them up.

But they are really close...

Thanks, here's the direct link; and we even made the headline.

So far I only find one: Baseball America: #24 (Coastal is #22)

Much to our disappointment and dismay, LSU dropped out.

Please add more as they become available.

Hardball's longest win streaks are 17 games, in 2000 (CWS) and 2014 (finished regular season ranked #1 in one of the polls, hosted Super Regional).
