2018 College Baseball Polls

Which of these carries the most weight? Like in CBB we all know the AP Poll and Coaches are the most respected (i personally trust the AP a bit more). Should the Coaches baseball poll also be considered the best?
 
I trust Aaron Fitt to accurarely judge us against Minnesota, Texas, Stetson, etc vs. some random coach at San Francisco or Marist.

It's always been my understanding that the most important ranking is simply the RPI, is that correct?

That's my understanding, too, considering there aren't widespread sabermetric ranking systems like in basketball.

That’s what I thought. They were weighing series from 2 months ago and ignoring they had won 4 straight series, in what they claim is the most competitive conference, as a reason to hold them out.

Also the “I grew up in cold weather areas” sob story was pretty telling that they didn’t have a reason to have them unranked

I particularly disliked the "we had to get USF in", then "we had to get Houston in". Obviously trying to limit the number of AAC teams in the rankings in other words.
