Absolutely dominant: 10 SEC baseball teams ranked in top 25, including a new No. 1
The updated college baseball top 25 rankings features the SEC flexing on the competition.
A ridiculous 10 programs are ranked in D1Baseball’s updated top 25, including the Gators jumping to No. 1 and the Vols entering the top 25.
The Florida Gators swept top-ranked Miami last weekend with dominant pitching and timely offense. Similarly, the Tennessee Volunteers swept the Round Rock Classic with wins over Texas Tech, Houston and Stanford. Both the Gators and Vols are undefeated on the season.
Six of the top 11 teams are from the conference, as Vanderbilt, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi State and LSU are all ranked. The SEC East specifically boasts 3 of the top 4 teams in the nation.
Below is the updated top 25 after another weekend of play:
1. Florida

Yes sir! Go gators!
Awesome sweeping UM…first time in any season that UF team has swept UM in basketball, baseball and football in the same season.
Very surprised to see LSU actually move up after a two loss week.
So funny seeing Hogs at 11 last week. Sad part is the SEC will knock each other around when conf play starts, hopefully still get 3-4 teams to Omaha.
Florida’s pitching is looking lethal
LSU has decent pitching, but the team batting average is last in the SEC, and LSU has committed 10 errors in 8 games. Hopefully the position players will catch up with the pitchers. So far, it’s one of the weakest LSU teams of the last several years, and I think their ranking is based more on potential than performance.
But do they get on base?
Not really. The only game LSU has scored 10 runs in, was the most recent.
A&M is also undefeated. Had a great game against an admittedly underwhelming Prairie View team up 27-0 after the 2nd inning.
Woof! Ugly weekend for my Tigers. At least basketball got back on track.
Hard to believe how far S Carolina has fallen since Tanner retired. They were best in SEC. Now, 10 SEC teams in Top 25 and they are not one of them. Wow.
Congrats is in order to the diamond Gatorbaitors. Way to represent. Nice beat down of those South Florida Windsuckers this past weekend. Very impressive…
