Over 23,000 fans showed up to the ballpark over the weekend to see Texas, and more notably, Jim Schlossnagle, take on Texas A&M. Texas but an even tighter stranglehold on the number one spot with a weekend sweep, extending their winning streak to nine games, with only UConn and Northeastern currently on a longer streak (as of Monday morning). There was a ton of movement all through the ranks once you get past the top, with four new teams making it into the top 25, and another new one getting a vote. With just three weekends remaining in the regular season across college baseball, it is truly crunch time and should be a fascinating stretch as we head towards the NCAA Tournament.
Here’s this week’s NCAA Top 25 as ranked by Prospects1500 writers Shaun Kernahan, Kurt Moody and Michael Kelley.

Born in Arizona. Raised in the Midwest, and with lots of baseball. When I’m not writing about baseball or purchasing my next baseball card, I can be seen coasting down the highway to yet another travel baseball tournament with my wife and son. I love the Braves, bat flips and outfield assists.
Based deep in the heart of Texas, I am surrounded by the absolute best of college baseball year after year. From midweeks at The Dish to weekends watching Olsen Magic, I love the energy of D1 college baseball. For the past five years, I have been covering the Detroit Tigers organization for Prospects1500 while also ranking MLB Draft eligible players as they join the FYPD and Dynasty world.
Being able to learn from the game’s best coaches and watch the student athletes passionately compete is a blessing I do not take lightly. While rooted in SEC country, I am a B1G Ten truther to my core. I will always stop for a prospect discussion or for random baseball trivia. You can usually find me throughout the baseball season walking the baselines and concourses. Remember friends, “Every game is someone’s first game!”
