College Baseball Top 50 and Weekly Recap
It was a very quiet week as far as PG Crosschecker’s Top 50 rankings are concerned as the top eight teams stayed the same. Several teams had very impressive sweeps over the weekend including No. 1 Vanderbilt over Louisiana State, No. 2 Florida State over Georgia Tech, No. 5 Arizona State over Oregon State, No. 6 Texas over Texas A&M, No. 10 Missouri over Oklahoma State and No. 18 UC Riverside sweeping Long Beach State.

With the NCAA tournament selections a week away, several big schools are very much on the bubble. The most notable team in danger of missing the tournament is 2006 College World Series champion Oregon State. While starting out strong, the Beavers have dropped three straight Pac-10 series and sit at 8-13 in conference play. They have one last chance to strengthen their hopes of an NCAA bid against UCLA this weekend.

2007 Top Recruiting Classes
By all accounts, the 2007 high school class is special--both in terms of quantity of talent and in quality. A common theme among major college recruiters this summer and fall was that they were recruiting everyone without regard to worrying about the draft. The reason? With so many good pro level prospects, especially pitchers, there is bound to be plenty of players that will slip though and end up in school. Few schools backed off any players out of fear they would likely lose the player before he arrived on campus.
