I am deffinately not a baseball fan, but the school I went to for the last 3 years is doing quite well this year.

they have the nations HR leader, who is also top 5 in RBI(it fluctuates between games, sometimes he is #1)

and the strikeout top 5 pitcher.

their record is 27-14 and they are 9-0 in their confrence. yet in the polls they dont even get a single vote to be in the top 25
their record is better than some of the ranked teams

anyone ever heard of Stony Brook??

They are not ranked because of their schedule. You have to play (and beat) ranked teams to get a ranking.

Nope. That's probably why their not in the top 25. The competition doesn't help either. There's an obvious pattern among the ranked. Most ranked teams are of the big schools(Stanford, LSU, Miami, Nebraska, Texas) or the baseball schools(Witchita State, Cal. St. Fullerton, etc.)
