DALLAS (NCBWA) – The National Collegiate
Baseball Writers Association continues its tradition of
NCAA Division I polls for the 19th year with its 2016 weekly surveys.
Polls will be circulated from Feb. 22-June 30 (weekly through June
6) following the 70th annual NCAA World Series in Omaha, Neb., at
TD Ameritrade Park.
The Florida Gators (43-9) continues to top the
poll for the 12th time in 14 weeks after Texas A&M led the survey
on March 28, and Miami (Fla.) was atop the poll for the first time
in school history on April 11. UF (preseason No. 1 and Feb. 22-29-March
7-14-21, April 4-18-25-May 2-9-16) has dominated the No. 1 spot
most of the season. The 2016 poll voters come from 40 college baseball
writers and related media persons from throughout the nation.
The current survey has representation by 10 different conferences
(and 15 for the season) among the 300 baseball-playing schools in
the 2016 NCAA Division I ranks. The rankings of 2012 had a NCBWA-poll
record 22 22 different DI conferences and independents rated at
least one week while 16 separate circuits had team rankings in '15.
