    Happy with this ranking. It's a long season and the team has no reason to worry about anyone in the nation

    Arkansas is way too low, they are Top-5, this poll inverted Arkansas and LSU

    The only thing right about this poll is that UM isn?t grossly overrated like they are every year.

    Thats cause this isnt a D1 Baseball poll.... They will top 10 in their rankings and I bet we are top 5 in theirs.

    Texas is a legit #1. They didnt loose much at all if i remember correctly.

    LSU is banking on playing gorilla ball this year. After all their transfers from Arizona, their line up will be hell to deal with.

    Arkansas is going to be really good as usual.

    I think Vandy takes step back. They lost alot of pitching, but they usually reload at that position. I still think they take a step back though....

    Florida is Florida. They could be damn good or damn bad like last year.

    Ole Miss will be able to hit again, but can they find any resemblence of pitching to keep other people from scoring 10 on them...

    Interestingly enough, this is exactly where we were ranked in their preseason poll last year. I will take it.

    I don't think 9th is ridiculously low, if I were an outside observer, I would see that MSU needs to replace the Top-3 starters, a clutch team leader like Rowdey, and the MSU GOAT. Plus, for an outsider, ranking the National Champs #1 seems boring and low energy.

    Texas is a legit #1. They didnt loose much at all if i remember correctly. They lost Madden and the Unhittable Quintania that Leggett Hit, they probably got great quality behind those guys

    LSU is banking on playing gorilla ball this year. After all their transfers from Arizona, their line up will be hell to deal with. They have multiple Golden Spikes sluggers like the transfers and Dylan Crews

    Arkansas is going to be really good as usual. Their Freshman class might be Top-10 without all the other good players they already had, three MLB Top-200 prospects

    I think Vandy takes step back. They lost alot of pitching, but they usually reload at that position. I still think they take a step back though.... I hope we start signing a pipeline of good MLB daddy boys, they even signed Andrew Jones' son for 2022

    Florida is Florida. They could be damn good or damn bad like last year. They have 2 or 3 players that are supposed to be 1st rounders

    Ole Miss will be able to hit again, but can they find any resemblence of pitching to keep other people from scoring 10 on them They will have a bunch of 24 and 25 year olds next season that MLB did not want, surely they will find some pitchers

    I agree on us.

    Pre-Season baseball rankings are prolly the least important in college sports.

    Rankings in basketball and baseball are worthless. Who gives a crap? Both have a true tourney

    If there is ANY team in the country that can even get close, it?s us.

    Yes. I understand times are very different. Still, deep in your maroon soul you KNOW a sleeping giant has been awakened.
    We have a home field advantage like none other in college baseball. If we can consistently set ourselves up for hosting regionals, then getting to Omaha can be a regular occurrence. It already is these last few years. Getting there frequently obviously gives us a chance to do the very thing you're talking about.

    I understand LSU will have the best line-up in the country- but they have more pitching questions than anybody. 3rd is pretty ambitious
    Texas should be the preseason choice-agree there.
    Got to put Vandy Top 5 with their talent level.
    Ok State and ECU ahead of us? GTFO

    I'd put us at 5 to start the year. If the pitching roles settle fairly early- then we'll be top 5 pretty quick. If those roles remain a question into April, then we'll be a 12-16 team

    Got to figure with The Animal on Friday and likely Cade on Saturday- finding the answer on Sunday shouldnt be too tough. Who gonna close?

    The middle of our line-up is going to be stout. James, Tanner, Clark, Cumbest. Maybe bat Hancock 2nd. Foreskin 9th

    I guess since damn near half their wins came from one pitcher is how this is weighted.

    Does Fristoe pitch like he did early? That is your Sunday guy and that is a top half of the SEC starting lineup at least.

    Closer is a big question mark. We've gotten used to some lock down closers. Not sure we have that this year. Walling has the stuff but he's Luke Nanoosh last I could tell.

    Worst case we've still got Preston Johnson - he gave us some key lock down innings last year.

    Fristoe could actually be in the running for that. I'm curious to see what we do with him.
