After climbing to the top spot in our rankings last week, Vanderbilt had to deal with being the hunted as the No. 1 team in the land over the weekend. The Commodores, though, embraced the challenge and swept Auburn on the road in impressive fashion. As a result, the 'Dores once again headline the Perfect Game Top 25 rankings.
Plenty of other highly ranked teams also took care of business. There are no changes in the rankings from 1-12, while North Carolina climbed from No. 16 to No. 13 following an impressive week that included a home series sweep over Clemson. After the Heels, Stanford and California round out the top 15 at No's 14 and 15, respectively.
Oregon State climbed from No. 19 to No. 18 following a road series win over Arizona, while Southern Mississippi was a big winner, moving from No. 22 to No. 19 following a huge road series sweep over Central Florida.
Baylor, Tulane and Clemson dropped out of the rankings following bad weeks, while Alabama, Troy and Oklahoma State are the new entrants at No's 20, 22 and 23, respectively.
The Crimson Tide took two of three from Arkansas over the weekend, Troy swept Arkansas State on the road and Oklahoma State took two of three on the road from Nebraska.
The conference breakdowns are as follows: Pac-10 6, SEC 5, SEC 4, Big 12 4 and Conference USA, MWC, Big West, Sun Belt, Atlantic Sun and WAC 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.
