There is a new No. 1 this season.
After going 5-0 final week and beating top-25 ranked Dallas Baptist, the LSU Tigers have climbed to the highest of the ballot, changing Texas A&M, which had been holding the highest spot for the reason that preseason rankings have been launched. After the Aggies dropped three of 4 contests final week, they paved the best way for the remainder of the highest 10 to leap one spot whereas plummeting to 14. And there was main shakeup outdoors the highest 10, too.
Duke, Cincinnati, Mississippi State and TCU all dropped out after lackluster performances, and losses, throughout the board. Duke went 3-2 final week, but it surely wasn’t sufficient to maintain it ranked with the best way different groups competed. Auburn, Alabama, Coastal Carolina and Oklahoma State took the final 4 spots on this week’s rating in any case however OSU went 4-0 over final week, with the Cowboys going 4-1.

Recreation to look at
No. 24 Coastal Carolina at No. 4 North Carolina: 4 p.m. on Tuesday (ACCNX)
As convention play is beginning up this week for the Tar Heels, they’re going to have the proper tune-up (or check) in opposition to the newly-ranked Chanticleers on Tuesday. North Carolina has but to lose a recreation this season, however regardless that Coastal has solely entered the rankings this week, it has been enjoying stable baseball and has a 10-2 general file. Can Coastal get the upset and proceed its ascend, or will UNC use this recreation as a launching pad to ACC dominance? We’ll have to attend and see. Hunter Stokely (4 house runs, 17 RBIs) and Luke Stevenson (three house runs, 13 RBIs) have been main UNC, so if their bats get sizzling, it may spell hassle for the Chanticleers.
