Texas is No. 1 in Baseball America's preseason Top 25 for a record sixth time in the 30-year history of the rankings. The Longhorns, who last topped the preseason rankings in 2006, broke a tie with Stanford for most years starting atop the rankings. Texas was also preseason No. 1 in 1983 (when it became one of four teams ever to start the season in the top spot and go on to win the national title) and in '85-'87. The 'Horns, who finished as the national runner-up last year, claim the top spot based largely on the strength of the nation's most talented pitching staff.
The old slogan -- "Everything's bigger in Texas -- might be a bit of an exaggeration. After all, at least one thing was decidedly smaller in Texas in 2009: the Longhorns' ERA. In fact, 286 Division I teams posted bigger ERAs than Texas' 2.95 last year, and only one (Arizona State) had a smaller ERA.
