The college baseball season began this weekend, and now the world has an idea of what each team in the country has to offer. As a result, the various rankings across college baseball have received an update, and Florida’s 0-1 series loss to St. John’s has the Gators moving down those lists.
D1Baseball dropped Florida from No. 2 overall to No. 4, Baseball America dropped UF from No. 4 to No. 5 and Perfect Game moved Florida from No. 2 to No. 6, according to a graphic posted on social media.
It’s only natural for Florida to take a dip in these rankings after a rough opening weekend. The Gators lost on opening night, 9-5, and the other two games in the series were canceled due to weather.
Florida has a chance to get back to .500 quickly with a Tuesday matchup with a home-and-home series against North Florida on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then, the Gators host Columbia — an NCAA Tournament team from a year ago — for a bit of a test.
