Poll Position: Ole Miss baseball stays steady after weekend sweep in Minneapolis
Three weeks into the college baseball season and the upper portion of the rankings is starting to level off as non-conference games are varying in degrees of difficulty. This includes Ole Miss.
After an up and down midweek Ole Miss took its first road trip of the season this weekend and rattled off three more wins against Big Ten competition. The Rebels had a perfect three days, going 3-0 and winning the Cambria College Classic, trophy and all.
A bounce back weekend led to a 4-1 week and got the Rebels (10-2) back on track as the season starts to get a touch more serious, starting with Tuesday’s game against Southern Mississippi.
Despite a strong start to the season, including a 5-1 record against another Power 5 conference through its first 12 games, not much changed in the polls as far as Ole Miss moving up is concerned.
