Rankings from Coaches' Poll

The 2012 Great West Conference Baseball Tournament took place from May 22–26. All eight of the league's teams met in the double-elimination tournament to be held at Utah Valley University's Brent Brown Ballpark in Orem, Utah. Utah Valley won their third championship by a score of 10-6, having advanced undefeated in conference regular season and tournament play. As the Great West is a new conference, the league does not have an automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.[2][3] Utah Valley has won all three Great West Conference Baseball Tournaments.[4]
