College Baseball Week 2 Rankings

As we complete two full weeks of NCAA Division 1 Baseball, we take a look at the top 25 teams, and who are the big climbers and fallers

As you might expect this early in the season, the top 25 has seen a sizeable reshuffle, as we move from preseason “what ifs” onto the actual facts on the ground.

The top of the table remains largely unchanged as everyone stayed within their expected finishes. The big news is the precipitous tumble of Texas A&M, who fell from fifth in the country all the way down to fifteen on the back of three losses on the trot.

The only undefeated team left in the top five is Wake Forest, and who can make a case for themselves being higher on the poll if they can keep up their winning ways over the next week. They have four single-game matches in the Wake Forest Tournament before heading on the road to Duke.

Another prodigious move in the rankings was by Florida State, but this time the other way. Rising from outside the rankings, they land at number sixteen in the poll this week, largely on the back of a sterling performance against TCU, where they took two of three games off the top ten school.

With the naming of two-time National Coach of the Year, Link Jarrett, as head coach at the end of last season, it was only a matter of time before the Seminoles began to make their mark on college baseball. Last season, Jarrett took the lightly-regarded Notre Dame Fighting Irish into the College World Series for only the third time in school history, eliminating the top seed Tennessee and upending the Texas Longhorns along the way.
