LOL! 
So, they escaped from the clutches of SCIAC coaches? 

[TexasBB]

Texas Tyler is off to a hot start to the 2017 season winning 5 out of their first 6 games including beating the defending national champs, Trinity twice. 

UTT is favored to win the ASC and if the pitching holds will be real threat in the regionals. Way early but an impressive start.

Beating Trinity last year was a good feat but not so much this year.  They are not the same team this year but does give a sense of how the Patriots are doing against teams that are consistently at the top of their game.

[TexasBB]

I agree with you comment on Trinity not being the same team, yet they were given a top 10 ranking in the pre-season poll. Thus beating them twice is worthy of note and indicates that UTT deserved its top 20 pre-season ranking.

[scac_baseball]

TexasBB,

So by that logic you agree that Texas football deserved to be ranked #11 after beating top-10 Notre Dame to start the college football season? Just giving you a hard time (UTT baseball > UT Football), but just shows that a lot of ball is left to play! Especially for D3 baseball, where polls are predominantly "big name" based due to so many teams and so little in-depth knowledge of projections for teams. Hell, I would even argue that in-season polls are average at best. But bottom line yes I agree UTT has flexed some muscle early and looks to be a potential ASC/SCAC favorite to emerge, especially given the slow starts of TLU, Trinity, Centenary (when they play a decent team), Concordia, and ETBU.

You do not need to know more than Trinity graduated most their team to know that a top 10 ranking is a stretch This will be "corrected" in the poll next week.

Usually the teams that get in early games (south, west regions) get a poll boost.  Not this year as two west teams drop and one west team enters the poll, one south is replaced by another south team.

[108 Stitches]

I think that this year, the West is much weaker than past years, but it is early so we will see how teams develop. 

[Westside]

I think that this year, the West is much weaker than past years, but it is early so we will see how teams develop.

Maybe in top end talent, but I will say that this is the best NWC I have seen from top to bottom in the 6+ years that I have followed it.
