There’s a change at the top of the D1Baseball Top 25 Rankings for the third straight week. Miami, which extended its winning streak to nine games with a pair of wins last week, ascended to No. 1 for the first time this season. Miami’s resume includes loud sweeps of North Carolina and Clemson, as well as a series win against Louisville. The first two games of Miami’s series at Notre Dame this weekend were snowed out, but Miami returned to action Sunday with a dominant victory.

The Hurricanes supplanted Florida, which lost its second series in the last three weeks to relinquish the top spot once again. Mississippi State climbed three spots to No. 2 after taking two of three in Gainesville, knocking the Gators down to No. 3. Florida State jumped five spots to No. 4 after taking two of three from Louisville, which fell five spots to No. 9. Vanderbilt rounds out the top five — the Commodores fell three spots following a series loss at LSU.

The Bayou Bengals moved up four spots to No. 11, one of several climbers outside the top 10. Ole Miss moved up five spots to No. 13 after sweeping Arkansas, and Texas Tech vaulted eight spots to No. 14 following a sweep of Oklahoma State.

Three new teams joined the rankings. No. 21 Rice, No. 22 Tulane and No. 25 South Alabama all made their season debuts in the Top 25 after winning weekends.

D1Baseball editors Aaron Fitt and Kendall Rogers determine the Top 25 rankings. Records are through April 10.
