Florida baseball earned a series win in its Southeastern Conference opener last weekend against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Condron Family Ballpark, taking the first two games before dropping the third to snap a nine-game winning streak. Nonetheless, the loss did little to faze the major polls after Week 5 of the season as the Gators remain highly ranked among its national peers.
The Southeastern Conference has a strong presence in these rankings — particularly at the top of the polls — led by the consensus No. 1 team in the nation, the LSU Tigers. The Vanderbilt Commodores and Arkansas Razorbacks also appear among the top 10 in all five polls this week, along with the Florida Gators.
Take a look below at the latest tally from the five major polls, four of which have Florida in the top three while the fifth has the Orange and Blue at No. 7.
