- Florida Gulf Coast managed to stay ranked. I can't believe that, as they looked pretty average this week against some low end competition.

- North Florida made a big move up this week.

- Mercer has a monster test on Tuesday @ Georgia Tech.

No offense but two one run losses hardly say "fraud" to me. FAU is 6-5 with losses to Miami (FL), Alabama, NC State and Coastal Carolina. Manhattan is terrible, but no offense everyone can lose a game by a single run. Just for reference, Mercer was shut out at home by Alabama State and while Alabama State has a winning record...look who they have played. #2 Arkansas lost to Pacific (4-6) by a run, are they a fraud? (5-7) San Francisco beat #11 Arizona...is Arizona a fraud? I am just saying losing a one run game is hardly enough for "fraud" status...if they continually lose game after game...then maybe. Don't let a game here and there blur the vision especially in baseball.

Ok maybe "fraud" was too strong of a word. I just wasn't impressed with their Manhattan series. Could have easily gone 2-2 at home. Scored an average of 3 runs a game. You're right that baseball can change drastically in the short term, so let's see how they do this week.
