After a perfect week, LSU baseball remains No. 1 in every poll

For the second week in a row, the LSU Tigers were ranked as the No. 1 team in the country across all national polls. 

For the second week in a row, the LSU Tigers were ranked as the No. 1 team in the country across all national polls.

There may be different opinions on who is the No. 2 team in the country, but it is no doubt that LSU is the best team in the country right now. The Tigers are coming off of a 5-0 week as they blasted Sam Houston State, Butler, and Central Connecticut in four out of those five games and then they had a pitching duel with the Texas Longhorns in between those blowouts.

LSU won its last outing against Butler on Monday night X-X in a run-rule victory to cap off a 4-0 weekend. Here’s how all the polls shake out this week.

LSU remains unanimous No. 1 team in baseball despite loss

Even with the loss to Iowa, LSU remains the No. 1 team in the country according to every poll.

Despite their 12-4 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday, LSU won the [autotag]Round Rock Classic[/autotag], and it was able to maintain its spot as the No. 1 team in the country according to every poll.

The SEC is very well represented in the top ten as well with as many as six teams ranked in the top ten by some polls and five in others. The Tigers are getting ready to travel to Austin, Texas, for a mid-week matchup against the unranked Texas Longhorns.

LSU was led last week by [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag], who was named the SEC player of the week, and [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] who had two incredible starts.

Here’s where the Tigers stand in each poll.

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.

Where LSU baseball stands in the latest polls

LSU is falling in the polls after finishing at .500 last week.

Another week, another set of polls.

LSU finished last week 2-2 after winning against Tulane on Tuesday and taking the final game of the series against Texas A&M on Sunday. The Tigers went into last week ranked No. 8 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, then proceeded to drop the weekend series to the unranked Aggies.

That dropped LSU all the way down to No. 18, and it dropped out of the Baseball America poll entirely.

Catcher Tyler McManus led the Tigers in hitting last week, batting .444 (4-for-9) with two homers, four RBI, and three runs scored. They have another busy week of games ahead this week as they get a shot at revenge on Louisiana Tech on Tuesday night before starting a weekend series in Gainesville against the No. 7 Florida Gators on Friday.

Here’s how all the latest polls shake out.

LSU remains at No. 8 in D1Baseball Top 25

There was no change for the Tigers after a dominant opening weekend sweep against Maine.

After a phenomenal opening weekend at Alex Box Stadium where the Tigers outscored the Maine Black Bears 51-15 in a three-game sweep, LSU remains at number eight in the D1Baseball Top 25 poll.

There were many expectations coming into the 2022 season, the first at LSU for new head coach Jay Johnson. The Tigers started it off by putting on a show.

Friday was “Money Time” as Blake Money came out and pitched a gem of a game going seven innings while allowing zero runs on two hits and ten strikeouts. The star of the show on offense wasn’t one of the usual suspects, it was the new kid on the block straight out of Junior College, Brayden Jobert.

Jobert finished the game Friday going two-for-two with a homer and two RBI. On Saturday, the bats stayed hot as they rode a streak of scoring a run for 12 straight innings. Two players were one-hit short of a cycle, Crews and Doughty. LSU had 17 runs on 17 hits.

On Sunday, the Tigers stayed golden as Ty Floyd pitched a gem and LSU scored 21 runs, breaking the program record for runs scored in the first three games. The Tigers sit at 3-0 and travel to Louisiana Tech for a one-game series Wednesday Night starting at 6 PM.

Here’s the full D1Baseball poll for this week.
