College Baseball Top 25

Looking back through the games this weekend one thing really stuck out — North Carolina is good. They man-handled Miami in the series sweep.

Also, LSU faltered big time against Tennessee. The Tigers won the first game of the three-game set, 18-3, but then fell to the Vols, 7-5 and 9-4, in the last two games.

UC Irvine and Arizona State just keep winning, while Georgia Tech makes a big leap.

College Baseball Top 25

After a semi lackluster weekend, here’s my first Top 25 poll of the season.

I just couldn’t bring myself to put Minnesota in the Top 25. I know that Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America each have them ranked there, but they’re just not legit.

Florida doesn’t crack the top 15, and I debated about whether or not to have Miami on the outside looking in of the top 15 but they have quality series wins. That’s not to say the Hurricanes are playing great baseball, they’re just winning series.

Also, even though I gushed (sort of) about BC baseball, they aren’t ranked either. If they would’ve swept Wake Forest I would’ve had them tied for 25th. However, because they only won 2 of 3, they are the No. 26 team.
