I will try to Lighten Snake River's load on B12 Baseball updates moving forward 
......... as of last Sunday, March 2, ncaa rankings only had 1 B12 team ranked - Okie St @ #25......and as Snake R pointed out, they lost 2 games this wk to what look to be pretty average group of 5 schools, so does NOT look like they will be standing come tomorrow's new ncaa poll....they actually sit @ #13 in B12 non conf record, just ahead of tx tech
Link below to B12 standings 1 wk prior to conference play starting - Devils open up @ tcu Friday night
* https://big12sports.com/standings.aspx?path=baseball
Couple brief highlights.......W Virginia sitting @ top @ 13-0; Kansas 12-1; Baylor 10-3, C Florida, Utah @ 10-3.....Devils 10-4, tucson tech @ 9-4, which is not bad knowing they have played some decent nationally ranked teams..........now the current rankings which are based solely on Non Conf games are haphazard @ best, not knowing how tough their schedules have been.......outside of Minnesota (who i think will finish in top half of B10) and ucla (who i know has talent), do not think we have played above avg compeition either .....but starting friday things will start to settle into place
Other thoughts would be surprised @ Tx Tech being 3-9, as they usually have decent teams.......
Conf Stats
* Team batting - Devils @ #7 @ .285......leaders include C Florida, W Virginia, Kansas, utah, baylor all @ .310+....so room for improvement here
Other - lead B12 in St Bases @ 39.........5th in on base %...........10th in # strikeouts, so bad........and 4th in walks, good........3rd in H Runs, 3rd in Doubles
* TEam Pitching - Devils #9 @ 4.71 ERA.......leaders include C florida, W Virg, baylor all @ sub 3 ERA..........kansas, utah, tcu @ sub 4 ERA......so gain room for improvement
*** Pitching stats other - Walks given up we are 8th, so bel avg..........Batting Avg against #7 @ .237, so right in middle........Strikeouts #1, so more K's by our pitchers than any team
* Def - - Devils tops in DEF based on # errors per chances, so we do have that going for us
More coming prior to TCU series
