A little more background of Tubili's Blended NCAA Baseball Poll

A brief word on my methodology . . . other than pointing out its complete brilliance! By covering it here I will, hopefully, not need to go into it again. My weekly blended poll uses five different polls including USA Today, Baseball America, etc. My poll also factors in two sub blends from Boyd's (http://www.boydsworld.com/baseball/) and Massey's (http://www.masseyratings.com/) sites. These guys do great work. With regards to Boyd's, as you'll see below, I use his Pseudo RPI and his ISR rankings. In order to weigh each evenly, I have multiplied the raw RPI score by a factor of two. You'll note that under this test . . . UT comes in at #24! With regards to Massey's, as you'll see below, I use his Overall Rank along with his Power rankings. Once again . . . UT comes in at #24! Here is the chart for this week. I ran it out 24 spots to make sure I show you where UT shows up. For my own purposes I run both of these out 30 spots. So, here you go! This weeks blended poll will follow shortly!
