Don't have time to go back and check them all, but this was definitely one of the highest final rankings in 130 years of VT baseball. I believe there was a preseason poll for 1982 that had VT at #3. Winningest percentage teams in school history were 1981 and 1982, but both did not get to go to regionals because of Metro conference competition and rules for the 1 school that got to go from the conference. Real heart breaker seasons.

Looks like how the teams advanced NCAA. Not sure that is the way to do it.
