Chomping At Bits: Florida Baseball Takes Preseason No. 1 Ranking

Chomping At Bits comes stocked with the best Florida Gators links and news we can find. Got a link we should check out? Email us at AlligatorArmy@gmail.com, subject line CAB.

Florida baseball ranked No. 1 in preseason poll: For the first time ever, too. Guess you'll just have to beat us on the field, South Carolina, because WE ARE NO. 1 IN THE MEANINGLESS PRESEASON RANKINGS. (Rachel George, Swamp Things/Orlando Sentinel)

2010's recruiting class, reviewed: Is dessicated a fair word? There's still a lot of talent there, but not nearly as much as was originally recruited. (Rachel George, Swamp Things/Orlando Sentinel)

2006 F/+ rankings: Relive UF being marginally better than every other football team in America! (Bill Connelly, Football Study Hall)

Kristy Jaeckel, Kelly Murphy to play pro volleyball in Puerto Rico: Covering pro volleyball in Puerto Rico seems like a pretty chill job. (Scott Carter, Carter's Corner/GatorZone)

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS, AARON MURRAY: YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY FIND A WAY TO LEAVE FOR THE NFL. (Bill Connelly, SB Nation)

Trust me

The South Carolina fans are already jawing about not getting ranked 1st. I didn’t even know there was a preseason poll much less that it came out in December till someone grumbled to me about it not being right that they got passed over by a team they beat.

I witnessed the Kentucky - Western Kentucky derpfest of '11 and survived to tell the tale

Rec'd

preseason polls are over-glorified power rankings.

The only sport they ever matter in is football

The rest decide it on the field/court

I don't think they should matter in football, either.

Rankings can wait a couple weeks for teams to play an actual game. In the grand scheme of things I think they’re only for fans and people who don’t actually watch the games.

I'd agree.

They shouldn’t matter necessarily, but in football especially they do. I’d be all for there being no polls until October.

They definitely matter

I just don’t think they should. They’re basically a prediction of where teams will finish at the end of the year, and haven’t really been earned.

I think it's funny SC has so many baseball fans all of a sudden.

A few years ago I don’t recall any of them treating baseball with any of the importance they give to it now, as if it’s equal with basketball or football.

Oh, come on. Don't leave your uncle T-bag hangin'.

They have a pretty strong baseball following.

I can’t comment on their fans a few years ago.

Florida’s baseball following should be better then it is imo.

Not many Gator baseball fans 4/5 years ago, so we can’t talk much. Stadium was pretty empty, quite often.

In All Kinds Of Weather... @TheRealTScott, follow me!

Can’t wait for the the baseball season to start.

Championship or bust!

Listen to them, the children of the night. What sweet music they make.
