Well, this morning the Baseball Bible has West Virginia ranked No. 21 in its weekly Top 25 poll following the Mountaineers’ series victory over Big 12-leading TCU on Sunday.
It is the first time since Baseball America began ranking college baseball teams back in 1981 that West Virginia has ever cracked its rankings.
College baseball’s other longtime poll, Arizona-based Collegiate Baseball, had the Mountaineers ranked 16th at the conclusion of the 1982 season on the basis of their victories over Rutgers in the Eastern 8 Championship and their NCAA Tournament triumphs over Old Dominion and East Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina.
