Clemson up to No. 2 in Baseball America rankings; No. 3 in D1Baseball

NCAA Baseball: The Clemson Tigers moved one spot in both Baseball America’s Top 25 rankings and D1Baseball’s Top 25 rankings, released Monday, May 25. The Tigers are up to No. 2 in Baseball America’s Top 25 and No. 3 in D1Baseball’s Top 25.

A 5-0 week that included a three-game series sweep of previously unbeaten Florida State saw the Clemson Tigers move up in the Top 25 rankings for both Baseball America and D1Baseball.

The Tigers improved to 22-2 overall after its sweep of the Seminoles in ACC play. They also defeated both Winthrop and Presbyterian College in midweek action. Those five wins moved Clemson one spot to No. 2 in Baseball America’s new Top 25 rankings and to No. 3 in D1Baseball’s new rankings, both released Monday.

Clemson rallied from 8-1 down in the ninth inning Saturday for an incredible 9-8 walk-off victory over FSU at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. A day later, they erased an 11-2 deficit in a 14-12 comeback win.

Arkansas (19-3) remained at No. 1 in both rankings after taking two of three from Auburn over the weekend.

Oregon State (21-2) stayed at No. 2 in D1Baseball’s rankings while moving ahead one spot to No. 3 in Baseball America’s rankings.

Florida (14-9) and Texas A&M (21-3) rounded out the top five in Baseball America’s rankings. The Aggies were No. 4 in D1Baseball’s rankings while Tennessee was No. 5.

Clemson will host Coastal Carolina Tuesday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. The Chanticleers (18-6) are No. 19 in this week’s D1Baseball rankings. Next up for the Tigers in conference action is a trip to Miami for a three-game series against the Hurricanes beginning Thursday.

Clemson moved one spot to No. 9 in the new Baseball America Top 25 rankings released Monday and stayed at No. 10 in D1Baseball.com’s latest Top 25.

The Tigers are 13-1 overall and won all four games they played last week, including a three-game weekend series sweep of UNC Greensboro at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.

Wake Forest (12-3 overall)), which had been No. 1 all season, fell to No. 7 after dropping two of three against Duke in a weekend series in Winston-Salem. That allowed Arkansas (13-2), which went 4-0 last week, to jump to No. 1 in both Baseball America’s and D1Baseball’s rankings.

Defending national champion LSU (14-2) stayed at No. 2. The Tigers and Razorbacks both begin conference play this week in the SEC against Mississippi State and Missouri, respectively.

Duke (13-2) jumped to No. 3 in Baseball America’s rankings after its weekend series victory over the Demon Deacons, as well as a 28-2 midweek walloping of Appalachian State on Tuesday.

The Blue Devils placed No. 6 in D1Baseball’s rankings, six spots ahead of where they sat last week. Clemson will travel to Duke on Friday for the Tigers’ first series in conference play.

Undefeated Texas A&M (16-0) jumped into the top five in both rankings. The Aggies went 5-0 last week to move six spots to No. 5 in Baseball America’s poll. They moved three spots to No. 4 in D1Baseball’s poll.

Oregon State (15-1) moved ahead three spots to No. 3 in D1Baseball’s rankings and stayed at No. 4 in Baseball America’s top 25.

Tennessee (16-1) went 5-0 last week to move ahead one spot to No. 6 in Baseball America’s rankings. Wake Forest, Vanderbilt (13-1), Clemson, and Florida (10-5) rounded out the top 10 in those rankings.

TCU (14-2) fell out of the top 10 in both Baseball America and D1Baseball’s rankings after dropping two of three to Kansas over the weekend. TCU placed 11th in Baseball America’s rankings, and 12th in D1Baseball’s. They had been ranked No. 5 in both rankings a week ago.

Clemson was ranked No. 9 in the most recent USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll, released Monday, March 4.

Looking at where Texas ranks in D1 Baseball’s Top 25

Texas checks in at No. 21 in D1 Baseball’s Top 25.

Texas baseball is once again in D1 Baseball’s Top 25 rankings following a 2-2 split in the preceding week. The good news is the team wasn’t hurt by the road series loss to then No. 17 Oklahoma State. The bad news is the losses stall the Longhorns from advancing up the poll.

Texas head coach David Pierce and company proved worthy of recognition after winning 16 of 18 games following a slow start. Several of the team’s scheduled opponents make the list as well.

Among SEC foes, the LSU Tigers check in at No. 1. The Vanderbilt Commodores and Arkansas Razorbacks join the Tigers in the Top 5. Texas lost narrowly to LSU and Arkansas away from Austin earlier this year.

Oklahoma State moves up to No. 16 after taking the series from Texas at home this weekend. It’s unclear how the series would have gone in Austin, but the Cowboys appear to be the more seasoned team for now. Texas Tech checks in at No. 22.

The Longhorns will look to climb up the rankings with a game against Air Force before a series with Kansas State at home.
