    Ranking the rankers

    We are #20 on D1 baseball
    Unranked on Baseball America
    Unranked on ESPN

    For the old heads here and those in the know, which sites or people do you follow to get gainful insight on accurate sports rankings?
    I get alot of my info from those sites and social media, but also welcome any suggestions for "sports insiders" that have a knack for
    getting it right more times than not.

    Thanks all and Hail State.

    college baseball is the most RPI driven there is. Warren Nolan is your go to.

    We were ranked 15th and such going into Regionals last year- didnt host. But they did give 2 spots to teams with lower RPI. I'm expecting that possibility again in a couple weeks

    D1 Baseball. Baseball America is trash as far as college baseball rankings go.

    We aren't ranked by D1 Baseball or any major service. Not sure where you got this.

    Looks like he's referencing D1's DSR (Diamond Sports Ranking) which is their version of RPI or power ranking but not their actual poll.
