The 2023 college baseball regular season and conference tournaments are all wrapped up. We are moving on to the NCAA regionals this weekend. Ahead of the postseason, the final coaches poll was released on Monday.

The Clemson Tigers jumped into the top five after sweeping four opponents en route to the ACC championship. The team defeated No. 10 Miami 11-5 in the conference title game.

Fellow ACC squad Wake Forest maintained their hold on the No. 1 spot despite getting eliminated by Miami in the tournament. Florida went 3-1 in the SEC tournament and was eliminated by Vanderbilt who ultimately won the title.

Arkansas is the other team making up the top five after losing to Texas A&M in the SEC semifinal matchup. The Oklahoma State Cowboys moved up five spots after earning a spot in the Big 12 championship game. They lost to TCU in the title game.
