TTFB presents a new NAIA Baseball Rankings, one centered on a strength index of how a team hascompeted thus far to a point in a season. In a nutshell, a higher ranking team has fared well againstcurrentstrong opponents while lower ranked (and some high ranked) teams lose points for “bad” losses. You’ll notice a tie isn’t in any records below. We hate ties and we award no points for such a result. It’s basically a game that shouldn’t have ever been played and according to our records, it never was played. This isn’t soccer. If you see an error, record is wrong, etc – email us at Throughthefencebaseball@gmail.com.
