1 | LSU | There is a huge series in the SEC this week as LSU hosts Texas A&M for what should be a fun three game series. | 2 | |
2 | Texas A&M | Texas A&M lost two games to Arkansas last week and dropped to 35-5 on the year. | 1 | |
3 | UCLA | UCLA continued their surge upward by beating Cal State Fullerton and taking 2 of 3 from California. | 3 | |
4 | Louisville | After falling 2-0 to Ohio State, Louisville swept Wake Forest in ACC play. They stay out of conference this week. | 4 | |
5 | TCU | TCU had little trouble with Santa Clara and should be tested a little more this weekend against Texas. | 6 | |
6 | Florida | Florida swept Mississippi State and looked very impressive in the process. Kentucky is up next. | 8 | |
7 | Arizona State | Arizona had a slow start to the week before beating Washington in the last two games of the series. | 7 | |
8 | UC Santa Barbara | UCSB took 2 of 3 from Cal Poly to move to 28-9 overall. This week they take the long trip to Hawaii. | 9 | |
9 | Florida State | After slipping past Florida 4-3, the Seminoles cruised past Pitt in a series sweep. | 11 | |
10 | USC | It took 12 innings for the Trojans to get past Pepperdine 2-0 and they rode that momentum to a series win over UO. | 12 | |
11 | Vanderbilt | Vanderbilt had a very tough week, losing to Belmont and falling twice to South Carolina. | 5 | |
12 | Illinois | Illinois has now won 13 games in a row. However, their next seven contests are all on the road. | 13 | |
13 | Miami (FL) | The Hurricanes picked up a nice win over UCF midweek, but lost a tight series at Virginia. | 10 | |
14 | Oklahoma State | Once they finish up their series with Baylor and host Dallas Baptist, OSU heads off to Lubbock. | 14 | |
15 | Missouri State | Missouri State took another series over the weekend, but it was not easy against Tennessee-Martin. | 15 | |
16 | Florida Atlantic | A win at Miami on Tuesday would give FAU some more well deserved respect. The two are tied 1-1 so far this season. | 16 | |
17 | Missouri | The Tigers managed to squeeze past Alabama a couple of times in order to win the series. | 17 | |
18 | Dallas Baptist | Dallas Baptist has some catching up to do if they want to catch Missouri State and win the MVC title. | 18 | |
19 | Maryland | A gem by Jake Drossner wasn't enough for the Terps to quite get a sweep over Cal State Fullerton. | 19 | |
20 | Iowa | At 10-2, Iowa is just one game back on Illinois in the loss column and series win over Nebraska would help. | 23 | |
21 | Texas Tech | The Red Raiders have a big series this weekend against OSU. A series win and they are right in the title race. | 22 | |
22 | Charleston | Charleston keeps cruising along and they should be able to pick up a couple more wins this week against Furman. | 24 | |
23 | Nevada | Nevada rebounded nicely from their disappointing road trip to Fresno by absolutely crushing San Diego State. | NR | |
24 | Rice | Rice's bats were on fire against Houston and UTSA until they were held to one run in the series finale. | 25 | |
25 | Coastal Carolina | Coastal Carolina's big series against Radford did not go well. The Chanticleers are now a game behidn the Highlanders. | 20 |
