Baseball Rankings - 3/31

Honest question:

How much water does rank in these polls hold? At the end of the season, if you are in a position to host a regional and a super, guaranteeing you home field throughout the playoffs up until the 8 team CWS, does it really matter if you are ranked #1 or #5?

No not really, but it nice for recruiting and getting people out to the ballpark when you can say that you have the # 1team in the nation and for a school like UL it gives us great exposure that the other schools already have but it also puts a nice big target on your back.

I'm sure Brian will give us a statistical non-human answer to the equation. But man, I gotta believe that if we are ranked say #3 in the country in all the polls at the end of the season and we are #10 RPI team, they would give us a top 8 National Seed. I just think there is a human element that you cannot quantify to the selection process...

About what I expected. I would have South Carolina above FSU but that's just me. It still nice to have the best record in baseball at March 21 though!!

No heartburn with this one. USC and UL switched spots. They had a perfect week.

We stayed put at #4 in Baseball America! I told you guys, that 1 loss does not hurt us like you all thought! That's the big difference about this year, we already had their respect and attention before losing 1 game.
