College Baseball Update



College baseball is in crunch time as the ACC and SEC battle for conference dominance and Arizona State stands a top all four polls.  Texas is close behind rank 2nd in 3 out of the 4 polls.
In the RPI however, it is Arizona State and Arkansas sitting 1 & 2 respectively for the second staight week.  The great thing about the RPI is it ranks 1 to 301 so you can see where your favorite team is whether it is Fullerton at 15, BYU at 82, Longwood at 180, Utah Valley at 193, or Arkansas Pine-Bluff at 293. 
Attendance in the SEC has been huge, the top four in average attendance are SEC schools. 

This weekend features a couple of huge matchups in the SEC.  Arkansas travels to Gainesville for a big matchup against the Gators.  The other huge matchup is a battle of two SEC West teams the Ole Miss Rebels and the LSU Tigers both battling for positioning.  All for of these teams are battling to be possible National Seed wih LSU, Florida, and Arkansas appearing to be the most likely right now, but with a strong finish Ole Miss could be there.  The pitching matchup of the weekend is Friday night as LSU's Anthony Ranaudo faces Drew Pomeranz of Ole Miss.  These are the two best draft eligible pitchers in college baseball and arguably the two best period.  Tune in to watch it at 7:00 pm ET on ESPNU.
