With the season exactly one week away, here are a couple more polls to chew on.  Personally, I'm going out on a limb and betting on us winning another conference championship.
 
Summit League Preseason Coaches' Poll (released February 5th)
1.Omaha (23 points, 3 first-place votes)
2.Oral Roberts (21 points, 3 first-place votes)    
3.South Dakota State (17 points)
4.North Dakota State (15 points)
5.Western Illinois (8 points)
6.Fort Wayne (6 points)

CONFERENCE BREAKDOWN
 
• Oral Roberts - Led on the mound by junior right-hander Guillermo Trujillo, Oral Roberts makes the move to the Summit League, and it should be the favorite this season. Trujillo is coming off of a sophomore campaign that included a 3.11 ERA in 81.0 innings with 63 strikeouts and a .252 batting average against. Righty Jacob McDavid, who makes the move to the rotation after posting a 2.36 ERA and .196 batting average against in a relief role last season, and Kurt Giller, who had a strong fall practice session, should round out what will probably be the best rotation in the league. Although Oral Roberts does return a lot of at bats, pitching will probably have to be what this team relies on as it looks to replace Tyler Boss (.347/.407/.457) and Jose Trevino (.304 batting average with 10 homers). Senior infielder Matt Brandy (.277/.362/.357) will likely be the best offensive producer. ORU’s weekend rotation is rather intriguing. Trujillo should be a decently high draft pick in the summer, sitting 90-95 mph with his fastball, along with four pitches he can throw for strikes, but that could also use some refining. Meanwhile, Giller is 88-92 mph with his fastball and is coming off a great fall, and McDavid is up to 92 and makes the conversion from the bullpen to the starting rotation.
 
The rest of the breakdown is here:
