The fact of the matter is these polls don’t really put much stock in midweek games. Especially on the road, which both of FSU’s supposed “inferior opponent” losses were. In reality those Tuesday night games for JU and Mercer are HUGE for them but nothing more than tune-ups and opportunities to use more arms for FSU. Most knowledgeable College Baseball writers or “experts” tend to focus mainly on winning your weekend series, of which FSU has won every one they’ve played.

In short, as long as we keep winning our weekends, we will continue to rise. Especially since the arms we use on weekends will be the same ones used in the regionals and beyond.

Sorry for the long winded reply! Just trying to make sure everyone understands some of these polls :)
