Last rank-Last week's composite ranking
* The American Baseball Coaches
Association has ruled Arizona State ineligible for votes this season because of
the school's NCAA postseason ban.
Why a composite poll? CBI felt that
four national polls was enough. Plus, each week you find discrepancies that make
it tough to gauge where a team really is. This week's example: Florida is No.
3 in one poll, No. 7 in the other.
