Five weeks are now in the books across college baseball, and most conferences have begun league play now. This weekend brought the start of SEC play, and those series will have a massive impact on D1Baseball’s top 25 rankings. 



The weekend <a href="https://d1baseball.com/scores/?date=20250316">featured four series</a> between two ranked teams, all of which come from the SEC. Those series were No. 2 Tennessee vs. No. 7 Florida, No. 13 Ole Miss vs. No. 3 Arkansas, No. 25 Auburn vs. No. 16 Vanderbilt, and No. 19 Texas A&M vs. No. 17 Alabama.



We were also gifted with an awesome midweek slate this week. The action was headlined by No. 5 Florida State vs. No. 7 Florida. 



Entering Sunday, just nine teams were 2-0 in their respective series, in addition to three teams who had already wrapped up their weekend. With ten teams entering Sunday 1-1 and another two at 0-2, we are projecting the rankings to see a pretty notable shakeup on Monday.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-lsu">1. <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/lsu-tigers/">LSU</a></h2>



Previous Ranking: No. 1 Weekly Record: 4-0 Overall Record: 20-1 (3-0 in SEC)



LSU’s week began with an 18-4 midweek victory against Xavier on Tuesday, leading into the start of SEC play over the weekend. The Tigers played host to Missouri, and won Friday’s opener 12-5 before winning a tight 7-6 game on Saturday to clinch the series victory. LSU was aiming for the sweep on Sunday, and got it with a 10-5 victory.

Previous Ranking: No. 2 Weekly Record: 4-0 Overall Record: 20-0 (3-0 in SEC)



Many have been upset all year that Tennessee isn’t ranked No. 1 in D1Baseball’s top 25. That noise is only getting louder. The Vols, after a 4-2 win on Tuesday against West Georgia, made an emphatic statement over the weekend against No. 7 Florida. Tennessee won 5-3 on Friday and 10-0 on Saturday to clinch the series. Going for the sweep on Sunday, the Vols came from behind to win 7-4.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-arkansas">3. <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/arkansas-razorbacks/">Arkansas</a></h2>

Arkansas’ week began with a midweek victory against Central Arkansas, and then a huge SEC series awaited them on the road against No. 13 Ole Miss. It was the Rebels that took the opening game of the weekend, winning 10-6 on Friday. But the Razorbacks responded with a 12-3 win on Saturday to even the series. In Sunday’s rubber game, Arkansas came back to win 12-9 and take the series.

Previous Ranking: No. 5 Weekly Record: 3-1 Overall Record: 18-1 (3-0 in ACC)



Tuesday brought us a ton of intriguing midweek matchups, none better than Florida State against No. 7 Florida. Unfortunately for the Seminoles, it was the Gators that came out on top, 7-2.

Previous Ranking: No. 11 (+2) Weekly Record: 4-0 Overall Record: 17-1 (3-0 in SEC)



Texas is a strong contender to slide into the top ten in this week’s D1Baseball top 25 rankings.

They then hit the road for a trip to Mississippi State for its first SEC series, and won Friday’s opener 8-7. The two teams concluded the series with a Sunday doubleheader, where Texas won the first game 5-3 and the second 4-1.

Oklahoma won 8-5 in Friday’s opener, but fell 11-5 on Saturday. That set up a rubber game on Sunday, where the Sooners won 6-5 in extras to take the series.
