Many unknowns existed about where Oklahoma stood among the best teams in college baseball. Those questions have been answered.
Skip Johnson and his 2020 club are off to a resounding start. After a season-opening series win over Virginia in Pensacola, Florida, the Sooners made a statement at the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic in Houston by beating then-No. 6/9 Arkansas 6-3 and then-ranked No. 11/14 LSU 1-0.
This resulted in a rankings surge: Oklahoma moved up seven spots to No. 15 on D1Baseball and up four spots to No. 11 on Baseball America.
The Sooners are 9-3 to start the year. They’ll play host to No. 21/25 Dallas Baptist in a mid-week game Tuesday night and another one later in the season. Conference foe TCU has moved into the rankings at No. 22 in both polls, and Texas Tech remains a top-10 team. Arkansas and LSU remain ranked after 0-3 and 1-2 weekends, respectively.
Oklahoma and Dallas are scheduled to start 6:30 p.m. CT.
