Texas A&M now leads all national polls

It's been a tough year to be a TCU baseball fan. Sure, the team gave us a lot of excitement with a program-best 13-0 start. Then Big 12 play began. Since then, the Horned Frogs have posted a 9-12 record, including a paltry 7-11 in conference play.

However, former TCU head coach Jim Schlossnagle is having an incredible year with his team in College Station. The Texas A&M Aggies have a 32-4 record and hold the best record of any Division One baseball team. This week they ranked first in all five national polls.

I know that it is Texas A&M, and as Horned Frog fans you're naturally inclined to say, “Absolutely, absolutely not.” But hear me out. TCU needs a miracle at this point to even make it to the Big 12 Tournament, let alone the NCAA Tournament. The Big 12 is no longer the quality conference it was in recent years. Schloss was a fan favorite during his 18 years at the helm in Fort Worth. He has made the TCU program what it is (most years). We know TCU still holds a special place in his heart, so he should have a special place in the hearts of TCU fans. Maybe this is the year we can put aside decades of discontent with this College Station school and cheer on Schloss.

This week's Week 10 baseball polls are very top-heavy in the SEC. According to A&M, Tennessee (30-6), Kentucky (30-5) and Arkansas (30-5) are all in the top 10. The ACC has it too Clemson (29-6), duke 26-10), State of Florida (30-5) and Virginia 28-8), plus North Carolina (29-7) in a survey. In fact, they are the only teams in the top 10 outside of those two conferences Oregon State (29-5) and East Carolina (27-8).

Dallas Baptist (26-8), a team that beat TCU in Dallas last month and will host in Fort Worth next week, remains ranked from No. 19 (USA Today Coaches Poll) to No. 25 (D1 Baseball) in all polls.

In the Big 12, three teams are ranked in at least one poll (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and West Virginia), with several other teams receiving votes in at least one poll.
