• Weekly Chat | RPI | Subscribe to D1Baseball

Florida returned to the pinnacle of the D1Baseball Top 25 rankings after a one-week hiatus. The preseason No. 1 Gators regained their perch by winning a midweek game against No. 9 Florida State and sweeping Texas A&M, which fell from No. 1 to No. 6.

Vanderbilt and Miami moved up one spot apiece to No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, after winning series against top-10 opponents. Louisville returned to the top five, jumping four spots to No. 4. And Mississippi State made the biggest move of the week, vaulting seven spots to No. 5 after taking two of three from Ole Miss, which fell five spots to No. 18 after its second straight series loss.

Other climbers include East Carolina (up three spots to No. 16 after winning a series against Houston), Florida Atlantic (up five spots to No. 17 after sweeping Old Dominion) and UC Santa Barbara (up five spots to No. 19 after taking two of three at Long Beach State).

Four new teams entered the rankings this week, as Arkansas, Virginia, Houston and Georgia Tech dropped out. They were replaced by No. 21 Kentucky, No. 22 Texas Tech, No. 24 College of Charleston and No. 25 Michigan. All four teams are making their season debuts in the Top 25.

D1Baseball editors Aaron Fitt and Kendall Rogers determine the Top 25 rankings. Records are through games of April 3.
