Where LSU baseball stands in final national rankings entering regional play

The final rankings before the NCAA Tournament have been released.

The final rankings before regionals have been released, and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons finished the year as the unanimous No. 1 team in the country.

They are one of 16 teams that earned the right to host a regional and one of eight teams with the right to host a super regional. The regional hosts were more decided by RPI rankings than baseball polls.

A lot of analysts and coaches believe that the RPI system is broken, but we have yet to find a fix for it. LSU finished the year as the No. 5 seed and as low as the No. 7 team in the country, depending on the poll.

Here’s how all the final national rankings look entering the Baton Rouge Regional this week.

Where LSU baseball stands in the final national rankings entering SEC tournament

Despite spending most of the year at No. 1, that’s not where the Tigers sit entering the postseason.

The regular season has come to an end. The LSU Tigers started the season as the No. 1 team in the country, and they stayed that way for a while, but there is a new No. 1 at the end of the season: the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

Wake Forest finished its season with a 45-9 overall record and a 22-7 conference record in a stacked ACC. They didn’t drop a conference series all season. They will be the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament, and they will play Pittsburgh on Thursday and Notre Dame on Friday in pool play.

The SEC is still well-represented as five teams made it inside the top 10 in one of the polls. Here’s how all the national rankings break down entering conference tournament week.

LSU Baseball Rankings: Tigers free falling after 2nd straight series loss

The Tigers continue to fall after dropping two of three at home against Mississippi State.

LSU’s season started out like “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor, but in the past two weeks, baseball season has become more like “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac or “Free Fallin'” by Tom Petty.

The Tigers have now lost two-straight SEC series (at Auburn, vs. Mississippi State) and have now fallen from the No. 1 team in the country down to No. 5. As of now, the Tigers would still host a regional and a super regional, but one more series loss and LSU would possibly be traveling for a super.

Wake Forest has cemented itself as the No. 1 team in the country with Florida and Arkansas right behind it.

Here’s how the national rankings look heading into the final week of the regular season.

LSU remains unanimous No. 1 with 3 SEC series left

The Tigers have been No. 1 all season, and that didn’t change after a sweep of Alabama.

With three weeks remaining in the regular season, LSU remains the unanimous No. 1 team in the country.

Although the Tigers are 0-2 in their last two midweek games, they are 8-1 in their last three SEC series and a blown lead away from being 9-0. LSU swept Alabama last weekend in a weekend full of offensive firepower.

South Carolina has slid down the polls a little bit after taking one on the chin at home against the Auburn Tigers last weekend. The Gamecocks came into the series with the best home record in the country but that didn’t matter to Auburn, who took two out of three games against them.

Here’s how all the national polls break down this week.

LSU baseball still unanimous No. 1 after taking series against Kentucky

LSU did not have a perfect week, but the Tigers took the series from Kentucky after going to war for three straight days.

LSU did not have a perfect week, but the Tigers took the series from Kentucky after going to war for three straight days. That series win helped them remain at the top of the national polls entering a new week.

One of the most intriguing matchups of the weekend was South Carolina at Vanderbilt, and that series lived up to all the hype. The two teams showed why they are both top ten teams and why they are both flirting with the top five. Vanderbilt eventually took the series in Game 3.

Carolina will have the most interesting series for two weeks in a row as they play host to the No. 3 Florida Gators this weekend. For now, here’s how the national rankings shake out.

LSU stays on top of national rankings after series victory over Tennessee

For the fifth week in a row, LSU is No. 1 in every poll.

For the fifth week in a row, LSU is No. 1 in every poll.

The SEC now makes up seven of the top 10 teams in the country. The Kentucky Wildcats made the most significant move as they moved up seven spots in this week’s USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

I have been impressed so far with Kentucky, but Vanderbilt is arguably the hottest team in the country. The Commodores have started 9-0 in conference play, and none of their contests have been close.

UCLA was the biggest faller on the list as it dropped 10 spots after losing five games in a row.

If you are looking for a great game to watch on Tuesday night, No. 6 South Carolina and No. 15 North Carolina are playing in Charlotte.

Here’s how all the latest polls break down.

LSU baseball stays No. 1 for the 4th week in a row

For the fourth week in a row, the LSU Tigers sit atop every college baseball poll.

For the fourth week in a row, the LSU Tigers sit atop every college baseball poll. After losing Game 1 to Arkansas, LSU bounced back with a 12-2 run-rule victory and a 14-5 victory.

Blowing out a team that was ranked in the top five like that is why LSU remains the No. 1 team. Wake Forest and Florida are interchangeable for No. 2. Personally, I would give the second spot to Florida, just because of Jac Caglianone. He is a monster.

Vanderbilt has moved up to the No. 4 spot after beating Mississippi State like they stole something. South Carolina made a big move up all the polls after sweeping Missouri last weekend.

LSU baseball remains unanimous No. 1 heading into conference play

After another 5-0 week, LSU remains the consensus No. 1 team in college baseball.

After another 5-0 week, LSU remains the consensus No. 1 team in college baseball.

The SEC has cemented even further that it is the best conference in college baseball. The SEC makes up six of the top 10 teams in the country according to multiple polls.

The best news is that most of the cupcake games and cupcake series are over. Conference play begins this weekend, so we will soon see who is fake and who isn’t.

LSU starts off conference play this weekend on the road against Texas A&M, who is ranked as high as the No. 11 team in the country.

All of these rankings could have major changes going into next week. Let the fun begin.
