Chat transcript: Check out Kendall Rogers' weekly chat transcript

Drastic changes in the rankings aren’t common after the first week of the season, but there’s at least some movement in this week’s Perfect Game Top 25 rankings.

Top-ranked Florida had a fantastic weekend against South Florida, as freshman right-handed pitcher Karsten Whitson made his college debut. The Gators stayed atop the rankings and are followed in the top five by No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 TCU, No. 4 Vanderbilt and No. 5 Texas.

Arizona State and Stanford climbed into the top ten after fantastic weekends, while South Carolina moved up a spot from No. 9 to No. 8 following its series sweep over Santa Clara.

Cal State Fullerton dropped from No. 8 to No. 11 following a 1-2 weekend, while Virginia moved from No. 15 to No. 13 after a fantastic weekend that included a dominant victory over Auburn.

The conference breakdowns are as follows: Pac-10 6, ACC 6, SEC 5, Big 12 3, and MWC, Big West, Conference USA, Big East and Big South all with one representative.

The Perfect Game Top 25 is released each Monday during the season, and always will include an additional listing of 25 teams to watch and a live chat with college baseball managing editor Kendall Rogers.


1. Florida
Previous ranking: 1, Weekly record: 3-0
The Gators allowed just three runs in three games in a series sweep over South Florida. It was a business-like weekend for coach Kevin O’Sullivan’s clubs.

2. UCLA
Previous ranking: 2, Weekly record: 3-0
The talented trio of starting pitchers Gerrit Cole, Trevor Bauer and Adam Plutko allowed just a run in three games against San Francisco. Simply dominant.

3. TCU
Previous ranking: 3, Weekly record: 2-1
Though the Frogs tripped up in one game against Kansas over the weekend, they still finished the weekend with a 2-1 series victory.

4. Vanderbilt
Previous ranking: 4, Weekly record: 4-0
The Commodores’ starting rotation was solid over the weekend, especially Sonny Gray, Grayson Garvin and Taylor Hill. Perfect weekend for Vandy.

5. Texas
Previous ranking: 5, Weekly record: 3-1
Cole Green and the Longhorns tripped up once against Maryland over the weekend, but still finished the series with a 3-1 record. Freshman Erich Weiss was fantastic at the plate.

6. Oklahoma
Previous ranking: 6, Weekly record: 4-0
The Sooners played some hard-fought games against William & Mary and could’ve lost one. However, they finished the weekend with a 4-0 record.

7. Florida State
Previous ranking: 7, Weekly record: 3-0
The Seminoles had a fantastic weekend on the mound as they silenced VMI on the way to a series sweep. Sean Gilmartin getting back on track was huge.

8. South Carolina
Previous ranking: 9, Weekly record: 3-0
The Gamecocks will be incredibly difficult to beat this season if the weekend rotation of Tyler Webb, Michael Roth and Adam Westmoreland continues to throw this well.

9. Arizona State
Previous ranking: 11, Weekly record: 3-0
The Sun Devils pitched at a high level and couldn’t have asked for a better weekend in a series sweep over New Mexico.

10. Stanford
Previous ranking: 13, Weekly record: 2-1
The Cardinal got solid weekends from freshmen Austin Wilson and Brian Ragira, and took care of business on the road against Rice. Very impressive opening weekend.

11. Cal State Fullerton
Previous ranking: 8, Weekly record: 1-2
Fullerton split a pair of games against rival Long Beach State and lost a heartbreaker to a red-hot North Carolina club. Next up is a trip to No. 3 TCU.

12. Clemson
Previous ranking: 10, Weekly record: 2-1
Sure, the Tigers dropped a single game to Eastern Michigan. But on opening weekend, they still won a series 2-1. That’s all you need at this point in the season.

13. Virginia
Previous ranking: 15, Weekly record: 3-0
The Cavaliers couldn’t have had a better weekend. Danny Hultzen was fantastic at the plate and on the mound,, while Tyler Wilson had a masterful debut as a starter in a victory over Auburn.

14. Oregon
Previous ranking: 12, Weekly record: 1-2
The Ducks could’ve won all three games against Hawaii over the weekend, but only won one of three. They can finish the series at 2-2 with a win on Monday.

15. Rice
Previous ranking: 14, Weekly record: 1-2
The Owls had some iffy approaches at the plate at times over the weekend, leading to a series loss to Stanford. Still, the Owls will be fine as the season progresses.

16. Miami (Fla.)
Previous ranking: 17, Weekly record: 2-1
The Hurricanes dropped a single game to Rutgers but still earned a series win. Freshman pitcher Bryan Radziewski was a bright spot over the weekend.

17. Connecticut
Previous ranking: 16, Weekly record: 1-2
It wasn’t exactly a good weekend for the Huskies, who dropped contests to Purdue and Minnesota. However, they will rebound and be fine this spring.

18. Arizona
Previous ranking: 18, Weekly record: 3-0
The Wildcats did what was expected of them and took care of business of North Dakota State over the weekend.

19. Coastal Carolina
Previous ranking: 19, Weekly record: 3-1
The Chanticleers lost a heartbreaking extra-inning affair to Indiana, but still finished the weekend at 3-1 with wins over Boston College, Tennessee Tech and Virginia Tech.

20. Texas A&M
Previous ranking: 20, Weekly record: 3-0
The Aggies will be incredibly difficult to beat this season if they consistently get great starts from Michael Wacha, John Stilson and Ross Hales. Hales was the brightest spot.

21. California
Previous ranking: 21, Weekly record: 2-0
The Golden Bears opened up their final season as a baseball program with a pair of expected wins over Utah.

22. North Carolina
Previous ranking: 22, Weekly record: 4-0
The Tar Heels aren’t moving much because many ahead of them succeeded, but they had a great weekend that included wins over Cal State Fullerton, Missouri, USC and Cal Poly.

23. LSU
Previous ranking: 25, Weekly record: 3-0
The Tigers put their young guns on the mound on display throughout the weekend, as Kevin Gausman, Ryan Edes and Kurt McCune led the way. Very impressive first weekend by the LSU youngsters.

24. Auburn
Previous ranking: 23, Weekly record: 2-1
The Tigers finished the weekend with a pair of victories over Arkansas State and UAB, but stumbled on the mound in a matchup with fellow ranked team Virginia.

25. Georgia Tech
Previous ranking: 24, Weekly record: 2-1
The Yellow Jackets were silenced in their series finale against Kent State, but still took two of three from a solid northern team. Solid weekend for the Jackets.

2026 Staff Picks: College Edition

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
2026 College Preview Index With the D-I season opening up right around the corner, our staff came together and took a shot at who they'd pick within 7 different categories. Most are self explanatory while the "Sleeping GIant" category is in reference to a draft prospect outside of our latest Top 50 on the MLB Draft Board. It's also worth noting that once a player was selected for a category, he was unavailable for others to choose, outside of the Golden Spikes category, where we do see some double-ups.  Enjoy the weekend, there's sure to be plenty of excitement as baseball is officially back across the country at all collegiate levels!  Category Cohen Sutherland Cervino Billock Henninger Rankin Russo Impact Freshman Mason Braun Angel Cervantes Cooper Underwood Marcos Paz JD Stein Alec Blair Sam Cozart Impact Transfer Jake Schaffner Will Gasparino Brady Frederick Andrew Whalen...

Coastal All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
COASTAL REGION (NC, SC, VA, WV)  The first thing that stands out about the players on the Coastal Region team is that this is undoubtedly the fastest All-Region Team in the country.  There are four or five players who could legitimately have 80 grades on their running speed from the region and all have other tools to back up their speed. Another thing that jumps out is the quality of the juniors on the team.  While the region features only one 2025 PG All-American in left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, there are six juniors on the All-Region team who are ranked in the top 34 in the 2027 class, with plenty more talented underclassmen just behind them.  Three region high schools break into the Top 50 in the Perfect Game Pre-Season High School Rankings.  Charlotte Catholic at 33rd overall and Metrolina Christian Academy at 42nd represent the North Carolina schools...

Southwest All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

SOUTHWEST REGION (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO)  The most dominant tool in the Southwest Region for the 2026 season is undoubtedly power at the plate, as most players featured below not only have the size and bat speed to drive the ball but have put up the numbers as well.  While that isn’t exactly surprising given that virtually the entire region plays at elevation, it certainly stands out on the individual top prospects. The Region features four Perfect Game All-Americans in OF Ryan Harwood, IF Rookie Shepard and C Alain Gomez-Gudino and RHP Dylan Blomker.  The 2027 class is looking very promising as well, with four juniors gaining mention on the All-Region team below and Arizona in particular having a very talented class.  Keep an eye out especially for 2027 3B Colton Floyd (Corona Del Sol HS, Ariz.), one of the best and biggest power hitters in that class.

DII Top 25: February 11

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Preseason rankings are less about certainty and more about expectation. Experience, continuity, and proven production tend to win in Division II baseball, but every spring reminds us how thin the margins can be. The teams below enter 2026 carrying varying combinations of momentum, pressure, and opportunity. Some are defending a standard. Others are chasing it.  At this level, projection is rarely about raw talent alone. It is shaped by familiarity, by the players who have been through a season together, by staffs that know how to manage the quiet stretches as well as the loud ones. Injuries, turnover, and postseason moments leave marks that don’t always show up in the numbers, but they shape how teams respond when games tighten.  The programs at the top of these rankings carry more than returning statistics. They carry memory and momentum. They remember what it felt like...
