Tubili's Blended NCAA Poll for 4/18/11 - UT up one spot to #7!

I love UT baseball . . . even though the lads had a hard time scraping runs this last weekend. Part of why I do this poll is I have to listen to Craig Way (and I love ya Craig) rattle off UT's rank in about four or five polls before the game starts. Craig . . . I've done all the hard part for you . . . hence the amazing blended poll! Five different polls and two types of computer rankings all distilled down into one breathtaking chart. As in other weeks, the top teams are listed in the first chart. I then have my sub-work-ups for the Boyd Nation and Kenneth Massey computer rankings. It's an interesting process. Once again you will see that we get way more respect from human polls than from the computers. A few comments about the results this week . . . (1) Virginia is a truly unanimous #1, (2) UT as high as #4 in three different human polls, (3) A&M hanging very solid while our OU lads stumble down the charts, and (4) Texas State is in at #31 . . . in case you care!
