College Baseball Poll - Collegiate Baseball Newspaper PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release: Monday (March 6, 2006) GEORGIA TECH. NO. 1 IN COLLEGIATE BASEBALL NEWSPAPER (www.baseballnews.com) POLL TUCSON, Ariz. — Georgia Tech. (13-0) has been ranked No. 1 for the first time this season in Collegiate Baseball newspaper’s poll of NCAA Division I baseball. The Yellow Jackets are off to the third best start in school history. Tech. went 17-0 in 2003 and 16-0 in 1987. The Yellow Jackets are hitting .327 as a team and also have a team ERA of 3.24. Over the past week, Tech. swept a 3-game series against Rutgers by scores of 25-8, 12-2 and 11-4. Last week’s No. 1 team, Clemson (7-2) slipped to third after splitting a 2-game series with South Carolina over the past weekend. The pitching staff has an impressive 1.46 ERA. Poll Notes: It was a strange week with seven teams ranked from 11-20 in last week's poll posting two or three losses. In the entire top 30, 10 teams lost two or more games over the past week. Therefore, plenty of movement is seen in this week’s poll. Still, there are several red-hot teams. Outside of Georgia Tech. winning its first 13 games of the season, Florida St. has won 11 straight, Wichita St. 9 in a row, Alabama 7 consecutive, Mississippi St. six in a row while Arkansas has won 13 of its first 14 contests and North Carolina 10 of its first 11. Two teams fell out of the poll in Hawaii (2-3 last week) and Winthrop (2-2). The Collegiate Baseball Newspaper poll is the oldest college baseball poll. Its birth took place during the 1957 college baseball season. (Top 30 Agate Follows)
