MU #19 in Composite Poll

CollegeBaseballInsider.com has crunched the numbers and posted their annual Composite Preseason Poll.
The CollegeBaseballInsider.com Composite Poll weighs the four primary national polls, thereby providing the most accurate national ranking. In case of ties in the composite ranking, the team with a higher individual ranking will come first.

Missouri comes in at #19, having been ranked 10th, 22nd, 20th and 20th in the four polls. The full posted list shows that MU does not win the prize for the biggest spread between its highest and lowest rankings. Florida State, which comes in at #11 on the Composite Poll, was ranked 24th, 7th, 6th and 9th, with their outlier being the same as Mizzou's: Baseball America. Except BA dropped them lower than the other polls while boosting the Tigers up higher.

Polls and rankings are a crazy business.
