For the first time this season, the number one spot is NOT unanimous, as there was a vote for Arkansas, but ultimately Tennessee keeps the top spot. We have only one new team, with Georgia Tech sneaking in as Kentucky falls out of the top 25. UCLA gets a vote for the first time.
The two big fallers are Stanford, dropping seven spots after getting swept to Northern California rival Cal, while Florida falls twelve spots as they have another rough weekend. Auburn, Vanderbilt, and UC Irvine all moving up five or more spots, with UC Irvine’s sweep of UC Santa Barbara the best mid-major series result of the weekend (closely followed by Troy taking two of three from Coastal Carolina).

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!”
