As for the rankings, Conference USA took the biggest hit as the tournament championship was the wildest of any. Both Rice and Florida Atlantic emerged as the favorites, but Rice was quickly ushered out, and FAU wasn't far behind with Florida International – who dealt Rice one of their two losses – claiming the eventual championship on Sunday over UAB.

Missouri State made a big statement in their conference championship, having a perfect 4-0 week by a combined score of 26-7 and knocking off a pesky Bradley team that managed to eliminate Dallas Baptist from the Missouri Valley Conference Championship.

Florida State entered the ACC championship with a five-game losing streak but walked away from it with a four-game winning streak and the conference crown. They once again will be hosting a Regional, something they seem to do just about every year.

Radford also continues to take care of business, enjoying a 4-0 week of their own while claiming the Big South Championship with a win over Coastal Carolina.

New to the rankings are Cal State Fullerton, Oral Roberts and East Carolina. Cal State Fullerton opened the year in the Top 25 at the 19th spot, but played much better baseball in Big West play, particularly down the stretch, than they did during the early parts of the season. Losing Justin Garza to injury hurts, but Thomas Eshelman's presence, and the emergence of freshman John Gavin, could really continue to carry this team, especially now that they're hosting a Regional.


Also considered: Bradley, Louisiana, Maryland, N.C. State, St. John's, UNC-Wilmington.
