TCU Baseball Ranked in Perfect Game Preseason Poll​

The TCU Horned Frogs could be in store for a special season.​

Seth Dowdle

College sports and rankings are almost synonymous with one another. For as long as anybody’s been alive, college athletics have lived and breathed off the polls spit out by various publications, whether it be the Associated Press, groups of coaches or, in the case of college baseball, Perfect Game.

Every year around this time — with the start of the college baseball season looming on the horizon — programs and their fans wait in anticipation to see if their team is ranked. In the case of the TCU baseball team, any worry about being left off the initial Top 25 was probably folly, as the Horned Frogs came in at No. 11 in Perfect Game’s preseason poll.

College sports and rankings are almost synonymous with one another.

Really? Let’s give it a test run.

Synonym:
a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word in the same language, as happy, joyful, elated.

Synonymous:
having the character of synonyms or a synonym; equivalent in meaning; expressing or implying the same idea.

“When Bobby was younger, he dreamed of one day getting a scholarship at his favorite school so he could play college sports.”

“When Bobby was younger, he dreamed of one day getting a scholarship at his favorite school so he could play rankings.”

“Jimmy was known to be a huge fan of TCU and loved to watch all of their college sports.”

“Jimmy was known to be a huge fan of TCU and loved to watch all of their rankings.”

I think he should have said:

“One rarely discusses college sports without also considering the rankings of the teams.”
or
“Team rankings are a significant aspect of college sports and play a major role in how fans of college sports view their team’s overall success”.
or
“College sports and the rankings of each team go hand in hand.”

**on second look at this post, probably a petty waste of time, but leaving it anyway.

You see so clearly.
And you explain it such that we can understand.
Thank you.
