CollegeBaseballInsider.com Composite Poll
Virginia moves to the top spot in CBI Composite Poll
Vanderbilt falls to second, Florida rises to third, TCU drops
to fourth
 After
putting together a 4-0 week to improve to 7-0, Virginia has climbed to No. 1 in the CollegeBaseballInsider.com Composite
Poll.
CBI uses five national rankings in its
composite poll: Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball,
D1baseball.com, National
Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and USA Today
Coaches Poll. The USA Today poll was not updated this week, so just
four rankings are used for this week.
The Cavaliers got one win against La Salle and three against
Marist, including one in 18 innings. Virginia was first in one poll, second in
one poll, third in one poll and fourth in the other.
Vanderbilt went 2-1 against Indiana State and fell one spot to
second. The Commodores were first in two polls, fourth in one poll and fifth
in the other.
Florida had a 3-1 week and rose one place to third. The Gators
defeated USF before taking two of three from No. 10 Miami. UF was second in
one poll, third in one poll, fifth in one poll and sixth in the other.
TCU went 3-1 and slid one spot to fourth. The Horned Frogs beat
UT Arlington before winning two of three at No. 16 Arizona State. TCU was
first in one poll, second in one poll and seventh in the other two.
LSU put together a 3-1 week and remained in fifth. The Tigers
rebounded from a loss to Nichols to take three from Boston College. LSU was
second in one poll, third in one poll, fourth in one poll and eighth in the other.
Texas A&M moved into the poll at No. 14, while Louisville dropped
out. No. 12 UCF climbed eight places and No. 8 Mississippi State rose seven spots.
Texas fell six spots to
No. 15.
The CBI Composite Poll contains six teams from the SEC. There
are four from the Big 12, three from the ACC and the Pac-12, two from Conference
USA, and one
from the American and Big Ten.

Why a composite poll? CBI felt that
five 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: South
Carolina is No.
5 in one poll, No. 17 in another.
