The Oklahoma State Cowboys and the West Virginia Mountaineers shared the Big 12 title with Texas. OSU was No. 18 in D1Baseball’s poll and No. 12 in Baseball America’s ranking. WVU was No. 21 in D1Baseball’s list while Baseball America pegged them as the No. 14 team.

Longhorn opponents in the D1Baseball top 25 included No. 4 Arkansas, No. 5 LSU, and No. 8 Vanderbilt. In Baseball America’s poll, Arkansas was ranked No. 3, LSU was No. 5, and Vanderbilt was No. 6. Arkansas took home a share of the SEC regular season championship thanks to a 20-10 record in league play. The Razorbacks shared the title with Florida.

No other Big 12 team was in the top 25 in either poll. The 2023 Big 12 Tournament begins this weekend in Arlington. Texas is the No. 1 seed and will face No. 8 seed Kansas on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. Central at Globe Life Field.
