Now that makes more sense than D1.

I've seen 9 of the teams ranked above VT play; the advantage of going . . .
. . . to Clearwater. I think this poll . . .

Clemson got whacked out of both polls you presented.

They lost to Texas State 4-0 and got run-ruled by Arkansas (12-0)
They play at Charlotte tomorrow night, which will be interesting.

Use it as motivation. Think that's a little crazy to drop them 10 spots
but here we are.

Charlotte has become the equivalent of Syracuse for fball/bball

That's an unjustifiable drop IMO. Lost two games by a total of 3 runs.
Ten spot drop doesn't add up - it's simply bad math. ** Edited by laphroaig at 2/17/2026, 12:17:58 PM

How do you put USC ahead of VT? All their games have been at home and we're
the only ranked team they've played.

shouldn't lose to less talented unranked teams -still many opportunities

You're right however 3 run difference in 2 losses doesn't add up to 10.

losing 2 games by 3 is twice as bad as winning = 2+3 X2 = 10???

3 runs x 2 games = 6. 5-0 start was worth 6 spots up. No way 2-2 record
after that for 7-2 overall equals a 10 spot drop.
