College Baseball Poll Watching Week 1: Let's Play Ball

After their appearance in last year's College World Series, the Texas Longhorns are sitting strongly at the top spot in three of the nation's weekly polls. The Longhorns went 3-0 over the opening weekend, defeating a decent Rice team. The road to Omaha may once again travel through Austin. 

However, that road to Omaha may wind through several Big 12 towns, not just Austin. Oklahoma State had a stellar weekend going 2-1 over Vanderbilt in Nashville. They are now a Top 5 team in all three polls. 

TCU, after going 2-1 for the weekend in the MLB4 tournament in Scottsdale,  maintained their preseason ranking in two of the polls and dropped one spot in another. 

Texas Tech, who was ranked ahead of TCU in all the preseason polls, dropped a few places below the Frogs after going 1-2 for the weekend in the College Baseball Showdown tournament held at Globe Life Field in Arlington. 

For a look at all of the national action over the weekend, see our recap here.
