DALLAS (NCBWA) – The National Collegiate Baseball Writers
Association continues its tradition of NCAA Division I polls
for the 15th year with its 2012 weekly surveys. Polls will be circulated
from Feb. 20-June 28, following the 66th annual NCAA World Series
in Omaha, Neb., at the second-year TD Ameritade Stadium.
To date, Florida has held the No. 1 NCBWA ranking in all six '12
polls.
The poll voters come from 42 college baseball writers and related
media persons from throughout the nation. This week's poll has
representation by nine different conferences among the 291 baseball-playing
schools in the 2012 NCAA Division I ranks, and there have been 12
circuits in the surveys this season. Last year there were 16 different
leagues (from 30 in NCAA Division I) among the Top 30 polls.
