College baseball rankings: Updated Coaches Poll, D1Baseball

The top team in the USA TODAY Sports baseball top 25 remains the same after a busy week on the diamond in college baseball.

No. 1 UCLA (13-2) is still the No. 1 team, going 4-0 over the past week since the most recent rankings dropped. That’s more than can be said for LSU, which opened the season at No. 1 and went a dismal 1-4 over its past five games, dropping from No. 2 in the country all the way to No. 13. The Tigers fell to Northeastern, Louisiana-Lafayette and lost a three-game series vs. Sacramento State.

At least the Tigers aren’t alone; another team fell out of the top 10 alongside them, as North Carolina (No. 6 to 14) and Florida (No. 8 to 18) also had sizeable drops.

Here’s a look at the updated baseball top 25 rankings from USA TODAY Sports, D1Baseball and Baseball America:
