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 returned to No. 1 for the sixth time in seven weeks
to replace last week’s No. 1 Oregon State. The Volunteers, of coach
Tony Vitello, continue to lead all DI teams with 45 victories and
have clinched the No. 1 seed in the Southeastern Conference tournament,
held in Hoover, Alabama, on May 24-29. Oregon State, the Volunteers,
Texas and Vanderbilt have held the No. 1 position in 14 NCBWA surveys
to date.
Some of the big poll movers from weeks 13 to 14 are Texas A&M
from No. 16 to 4 after sweeping defending NCAA Champ Mississippi
State last week, Texas State from No. 17 to 11, Vanderbilt from
No. 24 to 16 and Auburn from No. 22 to 19, among others.
There have been 18 conferences (with 10 this week) represented
in the first 14 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
features 301 NCAA Division I baseball-playing schools, and for more
