DALLAS (NCBWA) – The National Collegiate Baseball Writers
Association continues its tradition of NCAA Division I polls for
the 16th year with its 2013 weekly surveys. Polls will be circulated
from Feb. 18-June 27 following the 67th annual NCAA World Series
in Omaha, Neb., at TD Ameritade Park.
Arkansas (preseason), North Carolina (next 10 surveys), Vanderbilt
(April 29-May 20), and LSU (May 27-June 4) have been No. 1 during
2013. All eight NCAA Super Regional hosts are ranked among last
and this week’s Top 30. The next-to-last NCBWA poll will be released
after the June 8-11 NCAA Super Regional contests prior to the CWS.
The poll voters come from 44 college baseball writers and related
media persons from throughout the nation. This week's poll has representation
by 12 different conferences among the 298 baseball-playing schools
in the 2012 NCAA Division I ranks, and there have been 18 circuits
or independents in the surveys this season.
