West Virginia and Arizona Are Only Big 12 Teams in Week 13 Baseball Polls
The TCU Horned Frogs (33-15, 15-9 Big 12) have fluctuated in and out of the polls all season. After losing the series this past weekend to Arizona, the Frogs find themselves tied for third place in the Big 12 standings and once again not ranked in any of the national polls. They are still receiving votes in two polls.
Meanwhile, with the win, Arizona is now ranked in all five polls. West Virginia is the only other Big 12 team ranked in the Week 13 polls.
Nationally, for the first time in weeks, the No. 1 spot varies, depending on which poll you read. In the Baseball America and Perfect Game polls, Georgia (39-11) holds the top spot. Texas (38-8) remains at the top spot in the D1 Baseball and USA Today Coaches Polls. Arkansas is in the top slot in the NCBWA poll.
In addition to those three, the remaining Top Five consists of Auburn, Florida State, LSU, North Carolina, and Oregon, again depending on the poll.

West Virginia DoHS reports decrease in children waiting for Wraparound services
WEST VIRGINIA (WCHS) — The West Virginia Department of Human Services said it saw a significant drop in the number of children waiting on Wraparound services in 2025, reflecting progress its made in strengthening support for children in the Mountain State.
The average weekly Wraparound waitlist declined from 137 children in January 2025 to 14 by November, representing nearly a 90% reduction, according to a news release from the DoHS. Wraparound refers to intensive and individualized support in all areas of their life that aims to prevent children from being placed in out-of-home care.
The agency said the steady downward trend is the result of targeted efforts to expand provider capacity, improve timely access and better align services with family needs statewide.
“Reducing wait times for Wraparound services means children and families receive the right support sooner, when it matters most,” Alex Mayer, Cabinet Secretary of the West Virginia DoHS, said in the news release. “Every child deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and stay connected to family and community. This progress reflects deliberate efforts to strengthen the workforce, expand provider capacity, and remove barriers that delay care.”
The DoHS said it also expanded service capacity and strengthened coordination across the behavioral health system, including onboarding five new providers and expanding service areas with existing providers.
The Bureau for Behavioral Health further reduced waitlist pressure by providing Intro to Wraparound training to alternative service providers outside of the wraparound network, helping families connect with appropriate supports and further reducing waitlist pressure, the news release said.
To further address ongoing challenges, the DoHS said it is focusing on implementing Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics statewide, boosting provider recruitment and outreach, authorizing telehealth where capacity is limited and expanding the Safe at Home program in high-need counties.
