Baseball America rankings proved to be a joke this week

In their chat last week they talk about not moving ASU up because the teams above them won their series. This week they jump 7 spots over teams that won their series.

UF jumps 4 spots also over teams that won their series. UF only had a decent week. THey beat FSU and then a mediocre Miss State team. In their rankings 2 weeks ago, FSU beat UF and a ranked (but bad) UGA team and they move up 1 spot.

They have no criteria and they don't pay attention to strength of schedule. If I'm not mistaken, its only 2 guys that do the rankings. But at least they do hold themselves publically accountable.

most of the sports polls tend to be influenced by.....

...the reputation of the program as opposed to how they are performing that season. I call this the figure skating syndrome. The scoring is part current performance and part lifetime achievement.

BA had a set criteria and stuck with it. They believed that if you win your weekend series then you "won" your week. I don't necessarily agree with that criteria because there are some teams that good teams are supposed to sweep. But, until this week BA held pretty firm to that criteria so at least you could plan for it.
