We are roughly 28 to 29 games into the 2023 college baseball season with the postseason picture beginning to take shape.
Once again the LSU Tigers, Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Florida Gators, and Vanderbilt Commodores hold their place at the top of the rankings. In all, the SEC has seven teams among the top 10 in the country.
The biggest movers this week were the [autotag]Kentucky Wildcat[/autotag]s and UCLA Bruins. Kentucky jumped to No. 10, up seven spots from last week. They are coming off a three-game sweep of Missouri and will take on the Georgia Bulldogs this coming weekend.
On the flip side, we have the [autotag]UCLA Bruins[/autotag] who plummeted in the rankings down to No. 22 dropping 10 spots. They have lost six games in a row to Washington, Cal State Fullerton, and Washington State. They look to get back on track with Long Beach State on Tuesday and a weekend series against Utah.
