I've never been a big fan of the Collegiate Baseball polls -- teams can jump too much or drop too far in the space of a week and then there are things like not ranking a school that didn't report (hey, CB, go do your homework and find something out). But for discussion purposes in the dead of winter, I love them. Anything that gets everybody looking ahead to the season is a good thing. Already we've got all the folks on this board in various parts of the country weighing in with their expertise. Sure, these polls are meaningless, but they do get the debate going. Who's ranked too high or too low? Who got left out? And in baseball, the preseason No. 1 rarely is the last team standing at the end of the season because so much can happen over 60-some games.
