2016 College Baseball Preview Index
Welcome to the first top 25 team rankings for the 2016 college baseball season and thanks to our friends at Rawlings for presenting our 2016 college baseball preview content. Listed below are the top 25 teams, a list assembled by Perfect Game's Patrick Ebert, Jheremy Brown, Mike Rooney and Andrew Krause. As a unit we hope that this initial ranking proves to be as solid as last year's in which each of the eight teams that eventually made it to Omaha for the College World Series were represented.
For the second year in a row the No. 1 team was an absolute unanimous vote with the Florida Gators getting the nod to open the 2016 season in the top spot. Jeff Dahn will have a feature on Head Coach Kevin O'Sullivan and his Gators on Thursday.
For as much of a slam dunk as the No. 1 team was, the support for the No. 2 Louisville Cardinals was equally concrete. Although Texas A&M wasn't as unanimous it was eventually agreed upon that they were the third best team in college baseball, followed closely by their SEC rivals Vanderbilt and Louisiana State.
A week from today (Wed., Jan. 20) we will follow up with detailed capsules of each of the top 25 teams. The day after that (Thurs., Jan. 21) we will provide the teams ranked 26-40 along with a brief synopsis of each program.
Breakdown by conference:
ACC:
7 teams (Louisville, Virginia, Miami, NC State, Florida State, North Carolina, Notre Dame)
SEC:
6 teams (Florida, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Louisiana State, Missouri, Mississippi State)
Pac-12:
4 teams (Oregon State, California, Oregon, UCLA)
Big 12:
4 teams (Oklahoma State, Texas Christian, Oklahoma, Texas Tech)
American Athletic:
1 team (Houston)
Big South:
1 team (Coastal Carolina)
Big Ten:
1 team (Michigan)
Sun Belt:
1 team (Louisiana)
Similar to past years we will update the top 25 team rankings every Monday morning during the regular season. Stay tuned to Perfect Game and
