ROGERS WRAP: What caught my attention Opening Weekend?
Wake Forest remains No. 1 in the D1Baseball Top 25 rankings after cruising to a 3-0 showing during opening weekend. Arkansas and Florida move up one apiece to Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, after winning their opening weekends, while Florida falls two spots to No. 4 after losing its opener against St. John’s and having the rest of its weekend washed out.
After the Gators, the next 12 teams remain the same, as most Top 25 teams took care of business in Week One, many of them against lesser competition. No. 12 Duke had the loudest weekend of this bunch, going 3-0 with notable wins against Indiana and Coastal Carolina, but all the teams directly in front of the Blue Devils also posted strong weeks, to there was no opportunity for them to move up.
There was a bit of movement in the back half of the rankings, as UC Santa Barbara lost two of three at Campbell and dropped five spots to No. 22, while Coastal Carolina lost at home to Duke and Indiana, causing the Chanticleers to drop from No. 18 to No. 25. Coastal fell a bit more than it otherwise would have due to the head-to-head loss to the Hoosiers, who joined the rankings at No. 23 following a 2-1 week at Baseball at the Beach. Indiana entered the season right on the cusp of the rankings, and their winning weekend, highlighted by a win against a ranked opponent, was enough to get them into the Top 25.
Northeastern drops from No. 23 out of the rankings after losing two of three on the road at Arizona.
