NCAA Baseball Rankings: Arkansas Baseball No. 1, Tops College Baseball RPI – FloBaseball


For the first time this season, college baseball will have a new No.1 team. 

Arkansas Baseball rose to the top spot in the D1Baseball Top 25 after previous No.1 Wake Forest Baseball dropped two games last week in its ACC opening series and fell to 12-3 overall. The Demon Deacons went down six spots to No. 7. 

The Razorbacks (13-2) have been No. 2 in most polls since week 2. 

LSU (14-2) moved to No. 3 while Oregon State (15-1), whose only loss is to Arkansas at the Kubota College Baseball Series last month, moved to No. 3.

The SEC continues to dominate the top 10. Now owning the No. 1, the SEC features four of the top top-5 teams and 60% of the top 10. There are nine SEC teams ranked at the D1Baseball. 

Three ACC teams, Duke, Wake Forest and Clemson round out the top 10. The Blue Devils took the ACC-opening series against Wake Forest two games to one. 

Arkansas begins SEC play on March 15 with Missouri and will face No.2 LSU on March 28. 

East Carolina remains just outside the top 10. The Pirates play UNCW on March 12 on FloBaseball.
