Rank Team Record Pts Pvs
1 Arizona State 60-6 750 1 - Clear lock on best team to repeat last years championship run.
3 Alabama 53-11 686 4
5 California 45-13 618 7
2 Florida 56-13 720 3
11 Arizona 43-18 439 10 - AZ is way strong team, I am thinking positive thoughts for the pitching staff.
18 Tennessee 49-12 234 5 - TN young pitching staff should be good this year.
12 Washington 37-16 404 15 - Young pitcher should be much stronger this year. bit of a homer call moving UW up this much.
10 Stanford 42-17 459 11 - Stanford is a great playing team, I am bit concerned about pitching.
4 Baylor 47-15 653 17 - Baylor is tough to call, can the pitcher carry? Last year had some luck, if they get the same this year, I will look bad for moving them down this far.
7 Oklahoma 43-19 568 13
15 Oregon 42-16 349 12
17 Michigan 53-6 249 2 - Would love to find a way to move them up even further, but could not justify it.
6 Missouri 53-10 603 8 -
13 Kentucky 40-16 381 23
8 Oklahoma State 42-20 541 22
9 Georgia 51-14 489 9
14 Texas A&M 44-15 363 18
16 Houston 44-18 321 NR
19 UCLA 36-19 205 14 - This is a tough one. Leaving the big UCLA this low in a poll is always a bad idea. But I just have not seen it with the current team.
20 Texas 46-10 163 6
21 Nebraska 41-14 124 16

I think it is a good start. So glad to see my Dawgs up there and hope they keep climbing! Cathedral City should shake this up quite a bit.
