DALLAS (NCBWA) – The National Collegiate Baseball Writers
Association continues its tradition of NCAA Division I polls
for the 13th year with its 2010 weekly surveys. Weekly polls will
be circulated from Feb. 22-June 29 following the 64th annual NCAA
World Series in Omaha, Neb., and final CWS competition at historic
Rosenblatt Stadium.
The poll voters come from 40 college baseball writers and related
media persons from throughout the nation. This week's poll has representation
by 10 different conferences among the 302 baseball-playing schools
in the 2010 NCAA Division I ranks, and there have been 12 circuits
in the initial surveys this season. Last year there were 17 different
leagues (from 30 in NCAA Division I) among the Top 30 polls.
