DALLAS (NCBWA) – The National Collegiate Baseball Writers
Association continued its tradition of NCAA Division I polls for
the 10th year with its 2007 weekly surveys. Weekly polls were circulated
from Feb. 12-June 25 following the NCAA World Series in Omaha, Neb.
Oregon State became the first school since LSU in 1996-97
to repeat as Division I champ after sweeping North Carolina last
Sunday night at Rosenblatt Stadium.
The poll voters come from 32 college baseball writers and related
media persons from throughout the nation. The final poll had representation
by a season-most 14 conferences (tied for a weekly high for the
fourth time in '07) among the 293 baseball-playing schools in the
'07 NCAA Division I ranks, and 17 circuits had teams in the polls
in '07.
