College Bass Fishing Top 25 Rankings


Ok I am stealing this from TBrinksFishing.com blog and he stole it from the ESPN 2010 College Bass Blog entry by Tommy Edwards. It looks like ESPN has a host of people contributing to this College Bass Blog (scroll down for blogs) for them.

Here are the Rankings: (No clue how they arrived at their conclusions)
1 North Carolina State
2 North Texas
3 Northwestern State
4 Virginia Tech
5 Eastern Kentucky
6 Florida
7 Auburn
8 Stephen F. Austin
9 Texas A&M
10 Murray state
11 Alabama
12 Arkansas
13 Indiana
14 San Jose State
15 Arizona State
16 Louisiana - Lafayette
17 Oklahoma
18 LSU - Shreveport
19 UCF
20 Arkansas - Little Rock
21 Sacramento State
22 Texas State
23 Tarleton State
24 North Alabama
25 Faulkner

I think it's a travesty the Iowa State Hawkeye's didn't make it.

College bass fishing has come on really strong in the past couple of years, but between FLW and ESPN/BASS and whoever else is involved, the picture is kind of muddled about how exactly things are sanctioned and who all is participating. Hopefully we will see some Minnesocold Teams in the Future.

Update: I've just noticed a list of participating schools. The U of M and St. Cloud State appear to be the only MN schools. Lots of Cheesehead schools though.

I can tell you exactly how we cam up with this since I wrote it. Myself and Chris Wood of NC state as well as several other anglers got together and made a list, we had about 30 teams who we felt were eligable becasue of how thery finished in the FLW, College bass, Collegiate Championship series and several tourny trails. I am assuming the school you are talking about is Iowa, we had them in the top 30 and were in the top top 25 for a while but at the end we ended up with a log jam of school and they were one of the first schools out. we will be coming out with a new list in the fall so just stay posted.
