Baseball America - Not yet released.
Collegiate Baseball - 5th (released 9-21) (1. UF, 2. SCe, 3. MSU, 4. GTech, 5. Vandy)
D1Baseball - Not yet released
PerfectGame - Not yet released
----------------
Notes:
CB is notoriously bad in their "poll" (really a ranking by the editor) and their methodology here is a bit head scratching. IMO, UF probably has the second best class (alongside either Georgia Tech or UCLA), but SCe and MSU are a good step down and Vandy is a good step above UF and GT.
Vanderbilt will be #1 when D1 releases their rankings in a few weeks (about 95% certainty on that based on conversations with the editors). Vanderbilt will also be #1 in PerfectGame when it releases its rankings shortly. This is because PG bases it principally on a points system that is already available (VU 115 pts, UF 95, UNC/GT 91 etc.) and because they've released their top 350 incoming freshmen and Vanderbilt dominates that ranking.
Baseball America is a little harder to gauge, but I factored their BA Draft 500 rankings into a blended point system using two sets of PG rankings (Overall and Draft 500) along with D1's Draft 150 [for known JuCo's a substitute point system in place of Overall PG ranking was used alongside the draft rankings for BA, PG and D1]. Looking at the result of that system for SEC schools, you get the sense that the separation was quite large.
So while this won't be a consensus #1 class thanks to CB Lou, it will be a #1 in at least two of the four "major" rankings.
