How are we still not ranked?

Until we get to April, rankings only serve to confirm the preseason biases held by sites like D1 and Baseball America.

Yes, but also, we’ve played an absolutely joke of a schedule I think we have 1 win over a team that’s even decent at best, certainly don’t think anyone we’ve beat will be in the field of 64

I’m speaking more year to year. Every season, college baseball rankings are a beauty pageant until you’re halfway through your conference slate. If you’re actually good but not well thought of, it’s usually because they didn’t think to stan for your preseason and jumping on your bandwagon now means having to back off another team. If you’re still ranked despite a bad start, it’s because they want to hold out as long as they can to justify the hype they gave you.

Our schedule to this point has been a relative cakewalk, to be sure. So I’d temper expectations; we aren’t going to moonshot our way to 50 wins against this league. However, baseball is also baseball. Florida is better than their record indicates but they’ve still dropped 6 games. Clemson’s only loss was a blowout to KSU. Mizzou has looked like hot garbage but then just beat a red hot Kansas squad on the road. Making it to 17-1 regardless of competition is nothing to sneeze at.
