D1Baseball Top 25 Rankings: Feb. 22

The top seven teams remained the same in the D1Baseball Top 25 rankings after combining to go 20-1 in opening weekend action. Florida remains No. 1 after sweeping Florida Gulf Coast, followed by Louisville, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Oregon State, Miami and LSU.

NC State moved up two spots to No. 8 after a 2-1 showing at the Caravelle Resort Tournament that included a win against host Coastal Carolina. Oregon jumped five spots to No. 9 after sweeping a road series at San Diego State, and North Carolina climbed six spots to No. 10 after traveling across country and taking a series from then-No. 11 UCLA. That was the only series of the weekend between Top 25 clubs.

Oklahoma State and California fell out of the top 10 after lackluster opening weekends, dropping four spots apiece to No. 12 and No. 13, respectively. UCLA slipped three spots to No. 14.

There was some shuffling in the back half of the rankings, but no teams dropped out. Aside from UNC, the biggest climber of the week was Coastal Carolina, which moved up five spots to No. 19 after a 2-1 weekend that included a comeback win against defending national champion Virginia. The biggest fallers were Mississippi State (down five spots to No. 20) and Southern California (down nine spots to No. 21 after a stunning home series loss to North Dakota). Cal State Fullerton clung to the final spot in the rankings despite losing a tight road series at rival Stanford. The Titans slipped four spots.
