Composite of 6 major national Division I rankings, March 21

Each week, CollegeBaseballInsider.com posts a composite poll of five national NCAA Division I rankings. In the table below, I've added PerfectGame.org to the mix for a six-ranking composite.

Florida is a consensus -- and unanimous -- No. 1.

Both South Carolina and Clemson are ranked in all six polls for the first time this season.  The Gamecocks are a composite 14th, one spot ahead of Clemson.

Coastal Carolina finished in a tie for 29th when all poll results were tabulated.

  Poll key: NCBWA -- National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association; BBA -- Baseball America; USAT -- USA TODAY coaches; CB -- Collegiate Baseball; D1 -- D1Baseball.com; PG -- PerfectGame.org

   Points are awarded on a descending scale, from 25 points for a first-place vote to 1 for a 25th-place vote. Some polls ranked more than 25 teams, but I kept it at the top 25 for consistency's sake.
