For just the second time this season there will be a new No. 1 team in the country as the Texas Longhorns lost three games this week, including two over the weekend in Columbia to South Carolina. They fall to No. 3 as we believe the roster and experience will still boast one of the best teams in the nation, but this was a very bad week for the Longhorns. Notre Dame takes over the No. 1 spot in the nation after sweeping both games at North Carolina State this weekend. The Irish lead the nation in fielding percentage and have gone 11-1 to start the season with no home games. Vanderbilt remains at No. 2 after taking care of business against Wagner, while Ole Miss climbs to No. 4 and Tennessee at No. 5 to round out the top-5.

Stanford drops out of the top-10 following their weekend series loss to Oregon, while the rest of the top-10 either took 2-of-3 against quality opponents or it was the SEC sweeping their final non-conference opponents before SEC play opens up next week. Only two teams fell out of the rankings this week, with No. 17 North Carolina State dropping both games against Notre Dame after a disastrous week last week, while No. 22 Tulane got swept by Evansville at home and went 0-4 on the week to fall out.

The two new teams to the rankings are No. 21 Texas State and No. 23 UCONN. Texas State had a hotly-contested midweek split with Texas where they took one and lost the other by one run; they look like the best team in the Sun Belt and one of the best mid major teams in the country. UCONN took 2-of-3 from a solid Pepperdine team on the road and lost just their first game since the Opening Weekend. They’ve been very impressive in that manner and have been doing so while on the road this entire time.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 24
It’s far better to be on a hot streak at the end of the season rather than the beginning of the year. As a result the three teams spotlighted with the latest rankings are in a perfect position for a deep postseason run.

College Player, Pitcher of the Week
Ryan Gallagher of UC Santa Barbara threw a complete game shutout and leads the Gauchos staff into the Top-25 while Tennessee's Christian Moore went 9-for-15 with 4 home runs and 9 RBI.

College Top 25: April 22
Well, here we go folks, we have one month left in the regular season and things continue to get more unpredictable on the national landscape. We are seeing some new clubs making statements out west and non-Power 5s on the east coast continuing to jockey for post-season host consideration.

Week 10 Preview Pick 'Em
Things are close as we head into week 10 and with all but one series having a different prediction, this week could really open things up between Cozy and Vin.
