Gators stay put in D1Baseball rankings after opening weekend sweep

Florida’s dominant three-game sweep of Charleston Southern wasn’t enough to move the Gators up the D1Baseball Top 25.

The Florida Gators got out to a 3-0 start over the weekend, but beating up on Charleston Southern wasn’t enough to move them from the No. 7 spot on the D1Baseball rankings.

The top seven remain unchanged except for Stanford taking over the No. 2 spot from Tennessee after the Volunteers fell to Arizona and Grand Canyon in the MLB Desert Invitational. LSU is the top dog in the country right now and Ole Miss and Texas A&M have a hold on the Nos. 4 and 5 spots, respectively. Wake Forest comes in just ahead of Florida at No. 6, and Texas Christian, Arkansas and Vanderbilt round out the top 10.

TCU made the biggest jump of the weekend by starting the season off with convincing wins over Vanderbilt and Arkansas at the College Baseball Showdown in Arlington, Texas. The biggest drop of the weekend came from now No. 15 Oklahoma State, which previously sat at No. 9.

With seven SEC programs in the top 10, it’s easy to say that Florida is playing in the toughest conference in the country. Alabama is also ranked inside the top 25 at No. 20, and Miami, which is an annual opponent for Florida, is No. 22.

Here’s a look at the full D1Baseball.com Top 25 after the first weekend of the 2023 college baseball season.
