  1. Oregon State 20-2 (5-1) Even

The Beavers lost their first Pac-12 game in pretty much forever, but they still remain on top of the rankings with the best all-around team.

  1. Florida 21-5 (4-2) Even

Florida’s offense continues to have its ups-and-downs, while Brady Singer hasn’t been quite as dominate lately. Still no need to hit the panic button, but you wonder if there is some CWS fatigue.

  1. Stanford 17-2 (3-0) Even

Stanford opened up Pac-12 play with a sweep over a solid Southern California team. They continue to look like one of the best teams in the country.

  1. Arkansas 17-7 (4-2) Even

After winning the first game of the series against Florida, the Razorbacks were crushed on Saturday before losing the series on Sunday in a close one. I still think they belong in the top four.

  1. Vanderbilt 17-7 (5-1) Even

The Commodores aren’t going to blow a lot of teams out, especially in SEC play, but they don’t need to with their pitching staff. They played three closely contested games with LSU, but won the series.

  1. Kentucky 17-7 (2-4) Even

It took a comeback win in the bottom of the ninth of Friday, but the Wildcats were able to win a series at home against Auburn. Still, they’re off to a shaky start in SEC play.

  1. Florida State 20-5 (5-4) Even

The Seminoles haven’t exactly been racking up the wins in ACC play, but they did come back to get a good series win over North Carolina thanks to their offense. The pitching has looked very questionable lately.

  1. Ole Miss 22-3 (4-2) Even

In one of the best series of the weekend, Ole Miss came out on top with a series win over Texas A&M.

  1. Texas Tech 21-5 (1-2) Even

Northeastern looked like a dangerous team early this year, but Texas Tech dismantled them in every game of a four-game series.

  1. NC State 20-4 (7-2) Even

It was a pretty series win over Georgia Tech, but it was a series win regardless. They now sit atop the ACC with a 7-2 conference record.

  1. Clemson 18-6 (5-4) Up 1

Clemson got a much-needed series win over Louisville.

  1. Texas A&M 19-6 (2-4) Down 1

The Aggies are so close to being atop the SEC with several close losses, but as it stands they are just 2-4 to start conference play after back-to-back series losses.

  1. Southern Miss 17-5 (4-1) Up 1

The Golden Eagles faced what will probably be their biggest competition in Conference USA this past weekend in FAU, and after dropping the first game they came back to win the series.

  1. Auburn 20-5 (3-3) Down 1

The bullpen is dealing with some injuries, and it cost them a series win against Kentucky this past weekend. The Wildcats cores three in the ninth on Friday to get the comeback win. Then the two split a double-header on Sunday.

  1. UCLA 15-5 (5-1) Up 1

The Bruins had a nice series win over Arizona State this past weekend to keep up the status quo.

  1. Louisville 18-6 (4-5) Down 1

After a series loss to Clemson, the Cardinals now have a losing conference record. It’s looking like that soft schedule to start the season is coming back to bite them.

  1. TCU 13-7 (3-0) Up 2

The Horned Frogs needed a big week, and they got one with four wins, including a sweep over Kansas State to begin Big 12 play.

  1. Indiana 16-5 (1-1) Up 2

Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, they had their weekend series against Iowa cut short and will have to settle for a split.

  1. LSU 16-9 (3-3) Down 1

The Tigers played a close series against Vanderbilt, but came up short. Still unsure exactly where this team stands on a national level, but they’re definitely not close to the top at this point.

  1. Duke 20-5 (6-3) Up 1

It would have been nice for the Blue Devils to pick up a sweep over Pittsburgh, but they fought hard to come back on Sunday to win the series.

  1. Oklahoma 17-9 (3-0) Up 2

While most people have counted them out, I’ve kept Oklahoma on my radar, and they rewarded me this weekend with a sweep over West Virginia.

  1. East Carolina 18-5 (2-1) Up 3

After falling in the rankings, the Pirate shoot right back up into the top 25 with a huge series win over UCF.

  1. Wichita State 17-4 Up 3

It was a huge week for the Shockers with a win over Oklahoma and then a sweep against Furman over the weekend to jump back into the top 25.

  1. UCF 18-8 (1-2) Down 7

The Knights fall pretty hard in the rankings with a couple of losses to Florida State during the week, and then a series loss to East Carolina over the weekend.

  1. Texas 15-10 (5-1) Up 7

The Longhorns had a big week and move back into the top 25 with a win over Sam Houston State this past week, and a series win over Oklahoma State to start Big 12 play 5-1.
