Episode 97: Week 5 Top 25 Reaction + MasseyRatings/Boyd's World Intro - a podcast by Cespedes Family BBQ

Welcome to Episode 97 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. First, we apologize for our missing a week due to our real job covering MLB. Then it's time to run through all the teams in the latest Top 25 poll. We touch on all 25 teams (at 1:30) in order including discussions on:

• LaGrange should be closer to #1 than #4
• North Central (IL) is still good but their future will depend on the return of Rob Marinec
• Baldwin Wallace is super legit and deserves respect
• We're not worried about Salisbury but they probably can't lose too many more games if they are Pool B
• Super disappointing and weird weekend for UT-Dallas
• Kean confuses us
• Tufts' offense is elite, if the pitching is also good they could be super dangerous
• The SCIAC might be super loaded but we still can't quite figure it out
• Stevens Point is back in the mix
• Other teams outside the Top 25 we are watching closely: Wheaton (MA), CNU, Hendrix, La Verne, UMass-Boston, Babson, NYU

Lastly (at ), we have a brief discussion about the utility of MasseyRatings and Boyd's World rankings to assess the best teams in D-III baseball.
