College Baseball Rankings: UCLA, Texas & MS State Headline Poll

UCLA remains No. 1 in the latest college baseball rankings while Texas, Southern Miss and NC State rise. LSU, Florida fall after rough weeks in Top 25 polls

UCLA Baseball held onto the No. 1 spot in both the Baseball America and D1Baseball Top 25 rankings after another strong week to open conference play. 

The Bruins improved to 13-2 and continued to separate themselves from the field with multiple ranked wins earlier in the season and a sweep of Ohio State in Big Ten play.

Several teams climbed the rankings after strong performances. Texas rose as high as No. 2 in the D1Baseball rankings and No. 3 in the Baseball America poll while remaining undefeated at 15-0. Southern Miss continued its surge into the top 10 in both rankings, while Georgia, Oklahoma and NC State also moved up after winning weeks.

The biggest fall came from LSU, which dropped from No. 2 to No. 13 after a 1-4 week that included a home series loss to Sacramento State. 

Florida also tumbled in the D1Baseball rankings, sliding from No. 9 to No. 23 after losing a home series to High Point.
