Top 25 Baseball Tracker -- Virginia takes over first place

The AOG Top 25 NCAA Baseball Tracker keeps track of the five main college baseball Top 25 polls. Teams are ranked based on composite score across the various polls. There are other composite rankings out there. Some of them only use four sources. This uses five and is thusly one louder. Four is for sissies and people who like ties. Having five sources helps break ties. No big deal.

Legend

Δ - Change in ranking from last week to this week (green is a positive jump - from 3rd to 1st; red is negative)
ESPN - ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll
BA - Baseball America
PG - Perfect Game
NCBWA - National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America
CB - Collegiate Baseball
Note: To be eligible for conclusion, a team must in the top 25 of at least one of the five polls. This list will vary in length depending solely on the deviation between the various polls.

Still no consensus #1

Interesting. Virginia gets a couple of easy weeks before their schedule heats up (ending with Miami and UNC), so their schedule will play out similar to Vandy’s. Meanwhile, SC has the easiest remaining schedule of the three, with series against Arkansas and Alabama being the toughest challenges.

5 weeks until the postseason!

Anchor of Gold - for all 45 Vanderbilt fans out there.

How does UF keep ranking so high

I know they are good, better than they have played, but they have played pretty poorly at times. I mean, we have 5 losses, 2 @SC, they have 9 losses including 3 to SC at home.

I mean, we’re ranked ahead of them, so it’s no big deal, but it just weirds me out that they are hanging around like that.
