DALLAS (NCBWA) – The National Collegiate Baseball
Writers Association continues its tradition of NCAA Division I polls
for the 25th year with its 2022 weekly surveys.
Tennessee (33-3) is No. 1 for the fourth week in a row, despite
having its school-record winning streak ended at 23 games. Volunteers
head coach Tony Vitello, the 2021 NCBWA Mike Martin National Coach
of the Year Award winner, continues to lead the Vols to their best
start in Southeastern Conference annals at 14-1. Texas, Vanderbilt
and the Vols have held down the No. 1 position in 10 NCBWA surveys
to date.
Some of the big movers from weeks nine to 10 have been Southern
Miss from No. 15 to 6, Stanford from No. 18 to 8, Gonzaga from No.
16 to 10, Virginia Tech from No. 28 to 16, Texas State from No.
24 to 18 and Oregon from receiving votes to No. 22.
There have been 18 conferences (with 10 this week) represented
in the first 10 standings of 2022, and there also were 14 different
conferences in all the 2021 NCBWA polls.
The 2022 poll voters come from among 33 college baseball writers
and related media members from throughout the nation. The ’22 season
