For the first time in weeks, the college baseball rankings welcome fresh faces. Oklahoma State enters at No. 23 and Cincinnati debuts at No. 25, both from the Big 12, replacing Arizona State (which dropped two of three at home to the Cowboys) and Virginia.
The top five saw some movement as Texas slid from No. 2 to No. 5 after losing a series at Tennessee. North Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Georgia—which secured the SEC regular-season title—each climbed one spot.
West Virginia made the biggest leap of the weekend, surging from No. 17 to No. 10 following a dominant sweep at Kansas. Coastal Carolina fell from No. 16 to No. 22 after dropping a home series to Old Dominion.
