I think alot of questions were answered by the Beavers by winning the first 2 games of their series at Georgia. They go for the sweep this afternoon. It looks like the Beavers could be a contender for the Pacific 10 crown again this year. I do have some reservations about Kunz as the closer and the team looks like they lack power on offense again this season. Collegiate baseball didn't even have them in their top 50 in the pre season but they are ranked now.

Pac 9 coaches (I believe) preseason picked OSU to finish 2nd or 3rd in their conference, ASU 1st. The national champs, picked 2nd or 3rd in the Pac 10 ... and not in a top 50?! That's ridiculous beyond words.

OSU was picked by the coaches to finish 2nd behind ASU, a team that finished 2nd in the Pac 10 last year and lost one starting position player (Colin Curtis) and brought in a mother lode of talent. It is hardly an insult by the Pac 10 coaches to pick ASU ahead of an OSU team that lost a large number of significant contributors. Actually, the Pac 10 coaches showed quite a bit of respect for OSU by thinking that highly of them despite those personnel losses. And, the margin was very close.

1. Arizona State 57
2. Oregon State 55
3. Stanford 51
4. UCLA 44
5. Arizona 42
6. USC 27
7. California 17
8. Washington State 16
9. Washington 15

The PAC 10 pick of 2nd for the Beavs was understandable. But not putting the Beavs in the top 50?

The didn't think much of the PAC 10.

as usual Beavs have to prove it on the field

That's the one & only point I was making -- the team picked 2nd in the Pac 10 not in the Top 50? It makes the pollster/ranking anointed ones look like biased idiots. OSU sweeps @ #19 Georgia.

The weird part about Collegiate Baseball's poll is they had the other five Pac 10 teams besides OSU that figure to be in contention for regionals. Then, mysteriously, after Oregon State hadn't played a game they jump from 41 to 22 before this weekend....

But at some point you'd think these people would wake up.

Last year the eventual NCAA champion finished #12 in the RPI.
