Vandy Takes Over Top Spot…
DALLAS – The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association continues
its tradition of NCAA Division I polls for the 14th year with its 2011
weekly surveys. Polls will be circulated from Feb. 21-June 28 following

To date, TCU, UCLA, Florida, and Vanderbilt have held the No. 1 NCBWA

The poll voters come from 40 college baseball writers and related media

by 11 different conferences among the 300 baseball-playing schools in
the 2010 NCAA Division I ranks, and there have been 13 circuits in the
