College Baseball Poll Watching Week 3: TCU Are Top Ten In Two Polls
TCU went to Houston last weekend for the Shriners Children's College Classic and went 2-1, including two shutouts with wins over Michigan and Rice. The loss was to a strong Louisville team which went 3-0 over the weekend and surged in this week's polls.
With a midweek win over Dallas Baptist, the Frogs went 3-1 on the week. It was enough to move TCU up in some of this week's polls. In the D1Baseball poll, TCU remained at No. 10. Baseball America moved the Frogs up one spot from No. 11 to No. 10. In the Collegiate Baseball poll, TCU is now No. 23, down three spots. And in the USA Today Coaches Poll, TCU moved up one spot to No. 16.
LSU is still at the top in all of the polls. The SEC has most of the Top 10 spots. Louisville, after its weekend performance, is now in the Top Ten in all polls.
Other Big 12 schools in the polls include Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, though like TCU, their rankings fluctuate between the polls.
Here are the highlights from D1Baseball, Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, and the USA Today Coaches Poll:
