For the second week in a row, the top seven teams remained the same in the D1Baseball Top 25 rankings, with preseason No. 1 Florida remaining No. 1 after a 5-0 week that improved the Gators to 17-1 on the season. No. 2 Vanderbilt and No. 3 Texas A&M also notched unbeaten weeks to improve their records to 15-1.

TCU climbed into the top 10 for the first time this season, rising three spots to No. 8 after taking two of three from Southern California. Ole Miss also made its debut in the top 10, moving up four spots to No. 9 after a 5-0 week that improved the Rebels to 15-1 overall.

The biggest climbers of the week were Florida State and Mississippi State, which both swept three-game series against ranked opponents. The Seminoles jumped four spots to No. 11 after opening ACC play with a sweep of then-No. 21 Georgia Tech (which fell out of the rankings). The Bulldogs moved up five spots after sweeping then-No. 9 Oregon, which tumbled 12 spots to No. 21.

One new team joined the Top 25 this week. Long Beach State jumped into the rankings at No. 22 after winning a midweek game against Fresno State and a road series at Oklahoma. The Dirtbags have won all four of their weekend series, including other notable series wins against Arizona State and Nebraska.
