They suit some guys up and send them out on the field... does that count?

LOL. That's what I would say about Penn State baseball (at least they got a pretty new stadium last year).

Here's the rankings: http://www.baseballnews.com/polls/di...ntpolldivI.htm

I have to say Hotty Toddy for my Ole Miss Rebels! Oh and to cheer on my dad's favorite baseball team, The University of New Orleans Privateers!

What colleges are known for great baseball programs?

Generally they tend to be in warm environments (the south, Calif., Arizona), because they definitely get the benefit of extra practice and players that grow up practicing year round. Some big schools like FSU, USC, UCLA, Ole Miss, Stanford and ASU are consistently good, but baseball's one of those college sports where smaller schools can shine, too. Rice, Pepperdine, San Diego and Loyola Marymount have consistently good programs. And then there are some state schools you never hear about in other sports but are great at baseball: Long Beach State, Cal St. Fullerton, Wichita State. Sometimes college baseball gets a black sheep in the mix, but it's often the same 30-35 schools battling for the top 25 every year.

Thanks, Peppy. I checked out rivals.com...does anyone know of a site that lists the top 50-100 schools?

I know it's pretty tough to make the team these days at Long Beach LMU, USD, CSUF and Pepperdine. Where do guys who want to play in college, but maybe aren't top 25 material try to play?
