D1Baseball ranked the Florida Gators No. 10 in its initial top 25 rankings ahead of the 2025 college baseball season.
The Gators are one of nine SEC teams in the preseason top 25 and are the lowest-ranked of the six programs inside the top 10. The Texas A&M Aggies are in the top spot after a College World Series Runner-Up run last season, followed by Virginia, LSU, Tennessee and Arkansas in the top five.
Florida rivals Georgia and Florida State immediately precede the Orange and Blue on this list. Three-game series will be played against both teams to help clarify the rankings. In addition to the Bulldogs, Florida hosts Alabama and Vanderbilt and travels to Mississippi State, Tennessee and Texas throughout the SEC schedule.
Twenty-one of Florida’s 56 scheduled games are against preseason-ranked opponents by D1Baseball.
Perfect Game ranked Florida No. 11 earlier this month in its preseason breakdown. The consensus appears to be a borderline top-10 ranking for the Gators so far, but the team does return 17 players from a College World Series club that only figured things out late last year.
