Most of the top teams around the country are idle today, in anticipation of upcoming tournaments and home series – but there are five Thursday games involving CB360 top-50 teams (listed below)
CB360 Top-50 Opening-Week Gameday Pages: Feb. 15 | Feb. 16 | Feb. 17 | Feb. 18 | Feb. 19
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
