You are exactly right though.
“Northern schools” get absolutely zero mulligans from the pollsters when it comes to baseball.
Yet….An SEC school like Florida can be a little bit above 500 and be ranked in the top 10.
Granted, they play tough competition in the SEC but at this point in the year, they haven’t played many SEC schools…
It’s annoying as hell….
Michigan goes to the final game of the college World Series and it’s like nobody in the College baseball world even notices.
I think this new NIL is really going to help Big Ten baseball….. and start to really hurt the smaller schools…. somebody like Creighton.
I hate the whole concept of it, but it is what it is and Nebraska seems to have a lot of it.
