Despite compiling an impressive 10-3 record to start the season, the Georgia baseball team has not cracked the top 25 in the D1Baseball or Baseball America’s polls.
To give the pollsters credit, the Bulldogs have played a relatively light nonconference schedule. Georgia will face much improved competition in a few weeks during SEC play, but its best win is Georgia State or Georgia Southern.
Georgia lost its top two starting pitchers, Emerson Hancock and Cole Wilcox, to the MLB draft last year, but it is still ranked No. 22 in the nation in team ERA. This includes teams from the Big Ten and Mid-American Conference who have only played 2-3 games as well.
Are the Dawgs being slept on? It sure seems like it …
