I have stayed away from posting on these message boards all season, but at this point I have had enough of the absolute rediculous antics going on here... And seeing the All-American team is the final straw. I have seen the D3 Baseball top 25 throuought the year, and having seen many of these teams play there have been a case of severe over-rating. When you look only at a team's record and do not take into account opponents you get severly over-rated teams(For example:Salisbury who was 40-4 but could not win thier regional) Now to get onto the All-American team. Whoever is in charge of that has made some grave mistakes.
I have to disagree with you on this. First of all, you mention that Salisbury could not win their regional. They were beat by another highly ranked team (higher in the d3 baseball poll ALL YEAR than the ABCA poll, I might add) in the championship game of the regional.
Also, how can you argue with the d3baseball rankings when 5 of the top 6 teams in the ranking BEFORE THE REGIONAL made it to the World Series (Chapman, Trinity, Kean, Johns Hopkins, and Cortland). Salisbury was the only team in the top 6 that did not make the WS. Not sure you can say that these teams are over-rated.
