Tennessee remains No. 1 in the D1Baseball Top 25 rankings for the second week in a row after taking a road series from Vanderbilt. Kentucky, who won a road series at Florida to remain one game ahead of the Volunteers in the SEC standings, moves up two spots to No. 2. A third SEC power, Arkansas, moves up two spots to No. 3 after winning a big series against Mississippi State, which falls from No. 14 to No. 16.
Clemson and Texas A&M fall two spots apiece to No. 4 and No. 5, respectively, after dropping road series at Wake Forest and Ole Miss. Oregon State moves up one spot to No. 6 after a 4-0 week, while North Carolina and Wake Forest jump four spots apiece to No. 7 and No. 8 after 4-0 weeks of their own.
Georgia is one of the week’s biggest movers, up six spots to No. 9 after sweeping a road series at South Carolina, which tumbles from No. 13 to No. 24. Oklahoma also vaults six spots to No. 12 after sweeping Baylor to clinch the Big 12 regular-season title. And NC State leaps six spots to No. 17 after taking two of three at Virginia, which falls eight spots to No. 18.
Texas enters the rankings at No. 25 after winning its fifth-straight Big 12 series. Troy drops out of the rankings after losing a series at Texas State.
