There was a change of fortunes in the American Baseball Coaches Association/Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division III Baseball Poll released on Monday. Preseason Number 1 ranked Otterbein (9-4) drops to 27th and formerly 15th-ranked Wooster (15-0) is the new No. 1 team in NCAA division III baseball.

Wooster and third-ranked Cortland State (13-0) are the only undefeated teams in the top 30. Sandwiched in between is second-ranked Chapman (19-3) who moves up from the third spot in the preseason poll. These top three teams split the first place votes with the Wooster, Cortland state receiving three and Chapman with two.

The last of the top ten resembles the bottom of the preseason poll as only one team was ranked in the top 15 in the preseason poll. 2007 University Athletic Association champions Emory (19-3), and previously unranked George Fox (18-1) complete the top five. Augustana (12-1), Kean (6-2), Salisbury (19-3), St Olaf 97-1) and Wheaton (6-5) round out the top ten.

Previous top ten-ranked teams, NC Wesleyan and Montclair State fell out of the newly released poll. Texas-Tyler (23-0) is ineligible for ranking as they are provisional member of Division III.
