CollegeBaseballInsider.com Composite Poll
LSU rises to top spot in CBI Composite Poll
Virginia sits in second, Florida State places third, Georgia
Tech is
fourth
 By sitting
on top of two of the national polls, the LSU Tigers are No. 1
in the latest CollegeBaseballInsider.com Composite Poll.
The USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll will not have its first
regular-season poll until next week, so Kendall Rogers and Rivals.com will
pinch-hit this week for them.
The defending national champion, LSU is first in the Collegiate Baseball and
NCBWA polls and second in the other two polls. The Tigers swept a three-game
home series this past weekend with Centenary.
The ACC filled the next three spots.
Virginia is first in two polls and second in the CBI Composite Poll. The
Cavaliers won two of three at No. 20 East Carolina.
Florida State comes in at No. 3. The
Seminoles are second in one poll, fourth in another and seventh in two. The
Seminoles took three from Georgia State in Tallahassee.
Georgia Tech is fourth in the CBI
Composite poll. The Yellow Jackets swept its three-game home series with
Missouri State.
Former No. 1 Texas dropped two of three
at home to New Mexico to fall into a tie for fifth with UC Irvine. The
Anteaters won three against Loyola Marymount.
South Carolina enters the poll at No. 14
after its home sweep of Duquesne. Stanford arrives at No. 19 after its
three-game sweep of Rice.
The Owls took the biggest fall, dropping
from fifth to No. 15.

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: Arizona
State in No. 2 in one poll, No. 14 in another.
