Friday’s College Baseball Top-50 Scoreboard

February 22, 2013
By

Following a tumultuous opening weekend that produced upsets and exciting matchups throughout college baseball, the second weekend of the 2013 season is upon us with most of the CB360 top-50 set to play on Friday (all but #31 Virginia Tech, #47 Appalachian State and #49 Creighton). There’s a total of 38 games on Friday’s slate involving top-50 teams in the CB360 Composite National Rankings – highlighted by nine different head-to-head matchups.

Friday’s nine scheduled games between CB360 top-50 teams (listed first below) include (21) Cal State Fullerton at (22) TCU, along with an intriguing pairing of 2012 CWS team Stony Brook (cb360 #45) starting a series at top-ranked North Carolina (game-1 has been pushed back to Saturday).

The updated CB360 top-50 is included below (full release coming later). Note that the formula has some tweaks going from the preseason to this update, as the rankings from Baseball America and Perfect Game are only a top-25 (preseason also included projected field of 64) while the coaches poll does not update after the first week of the season (thus the preseason poll still is used in the CNR) … thus there are some oddities towards the bottom of this top-50 but they will be fixed next week with a new coaches poll added to the mix.

Here’s the current CB360 top-50:

1-North Carolina … 2-Arkansas … 3-Vanderbilt … 4-LSU … 5-UCLA … 6-South Carolina … 7-Oregon
… 8-Oregon State … 9-Stanford … 10-Kentucky … 11-NC State … 12-Mississippi State … 13-Rice
14-Florida State … 15-Florida … 16-Arizona … 17-Mississippi … 18-Oklahoma … 19-Georgia Tech
20-Louisville … 21-Cal State Fullerton … 22-TCU … 23-Southern Mississippi … 24-Texas
25-UC Irvine … 26-Arizona State … 27-Miami … 28-Texas A&M … 29-Virginia … 30-Clemson
31-Virginia Tech … 32-San Diego State … 33-San Diego … 34-Baylor … 35-California
36-Sam Houston State … 37-Kent State … 38-Cal Poly … 39-Notre Dame … 40-Florida Atlantic
41-St. John’s … 42-Pepperdine … 43-Central Florida … 44-Purdue … 45-Stony Brook
46-Texas Tech … 47-Appalachian State … 48-Coastal Carolina … 49-Creighton … 50-Georgia Southern
