DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 18

Nick Herfordt
In every major sport, the championship is decided in the postseason. You can lose games all year, get hot at the right time, and walk away with the hardware. The regular season is a rehearsal. The playoffs are the show. 

The championship belt changes that. Borrowed from professional wrestling, boxing and ultimate fighting, the belt travels the moment the holder loses — no brackets, no seeding, no second chances. A random Tuesday non-conference game in Milledgeville, Georgia  becomes a title fight. A spring trip to Florida becomes a gauntlet. The defending national champion can lose the belt before February is over. 



We’re tracking three belts this season — NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NCAA Division III — each starting with the defending national champion. The results have been exactly as chaotic as you’d expect. 

Worth noting along the way: four HBCU programs have worn the belt this season — Savannah State, Morehouse, and Albany State in DII, and Huston-Tillotson in the NAIA. And San Antonio has quietly become the championship belt capital of college baseball — Our Lady of the Lake won the NAIA belt and defended it for eleven straight games, while Trinity University took the DIII belt right off the defending national champion’s waist in their own backyard. Two programs. One city. Both champions. 

What follows are the updated rankings along with the full title history for all three belts this season, updated through March 17, 2026. 

NCAA DIVISION II  

The University of Tampa Spartans didn't just win the 2025 NCAA Division II national championship. They won their 10th title in program history — the most in DII history — and they did it going back-to-back. Under head coach Joe Urso, who has stacked over 1,000 career wins and seven National Coach of the Year honors. The belt wasn't up for grabs. It was bolted to the wall in Tampa, Florida, behind velvet rope. 

Then Savannah State showed up. 

📅 February 24, 2026 — Tiger Field, Savannah, GA Savannah State Tigers def. Tampa, 7–0 
🎤 THE DYNASTY FALLS ON TIGER FIELD — SAVANNAH STATE DRAWS FIRST BLOOD! 

In the bottom of the third, Gavin Jusino sparked a rally and Johan Sandoval punched a two-run single to give SSU a 4-0 lead. They never looked back. Jayden Clark went 3-for-5 with two RBI. Kijani Clarington drove in three. The final: SSU 7, Tampa 0. The Spartans — fresh off back-to-back national championships — had just been shutout on the road by an HBCU in February.. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Savannah State Tigers  
📅 February 28, 2026 — Morehouse College 

Two games. Two title changes. One afternoon. Welcome to the belt. 
Game 1: Morehouse scores in the late innings — TJ Whiteman cracks a two-run homer, Jenkins goes yard, Pittman delivers a walk-off walk. Morehouse wins 7-6. 

🎤 WALK-OFF! MOREHOUSE FLIPS THE SCRIPT IN THE LATE INNINGS! 
Game 2 (same day): SSU responds immediately. Rodriguez and Cartaya hit back-to-back home runs. Savannah State wins 6-3 and rips the belt right back before Morehouse can even get it engraved. 

🎤 NOT SO FAST — SSU GOES BACK-TO-BACK AND RECLAIMS THE HARDWARE! 
The belt changed hands twice in one afternoon. Morehouse's reign lasted approximately three hours. 

👑 BELT MOVES BACK TO: Savannah State Tigers 
📅 March 1 — Morehouse @ Savannah State: SSU wins 10–2 A dominant series finale — SSU erupts for six runs in the ninth. Belt stays in Savannah. 

📅 March 7, 2026 (G1 of DH) — Golden Rams' Field at West Campus, Albany, GA, Albany State def. Savannah State, 13–6 

🎤 THE GOLDEN RAMS COME TO COLLECT — 13-6 AND THE BELT GOES TO ALBANY! 
Albany State came out swinging and never let up, handing SSU a 13-6 beatdown on their home turf to open a five-game series. The belt leaves Savannah — but Albany State isn't done making a statement. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Albany State Golden Rams  
📅 March 7 G2: Albany State 4, Savannah State 3 — survives a scare in the nightcap. 📅 March 8: Albany State 6, Savannah State 1 — a clean, dominant finish to the sweep. SSU goes home 0-for-5 in the series. Albany State holds the belt with three days of dominance over the team that took down the dynasty. 

Albany State swept the series over the Tigers 3-0. The belt is safe in Southwest Georgia. 

📅 March 10, 2026 — John Kurtz Field, Milledgeville, GA Georgia College def. Albany State, 9–6 

🎤 AND ON A TUESDAY — GEORGIA COLLEGE WITH THE MIDWEEK HEIST! 
Nobody circled this one on the calendar. A non-conference midweek game. Albany State rolls into Milledgeville and Georgia College's Bobcats rob them blind — 9-6 final. The belt didn't change hands in a rivalry series or a conference showdown. It happened on a random Tuesday afternoon in the Peach Belt Conference's backyard while most of college baseball wasn't watching. That's championship belt life. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Georgia College Bobcats 
📅 March 13, 2026 — Columbus State Columbus State def. Georgia College, 5–1 

🎤 THE COUGARS CRASH THE PBC PARTY — COLUMBUS STATE TAKES THE SERIES OPENER AND THE BELT! 
GCU couldn't hold it. Columbus State takes the PBC series opener 5-1 and the belt belongs to the Cougars. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Columbus State Cougars  
📅 March 14: Columbus State 11, Georgia College 3 — it's not even close. Cayden Evans, Jackson Chizek, and Landen Jensen all drive in runs. The Cougars are rolling. 

📅 March 15, 2026 — Columbus State Georgia College def. Columbus State, 6–3 

🎤 THE BOBCATS BITE BACK — SERIES FINALE GLORY FOR GEORGIA COLLEGE! 
GCU storms back in the series finale to reclaim the belt. What Columbus State won on Friday, Georgia College took back on Sunday. The Bobcats are resilient. 

👑 BELT MOVES BACK TO: Georgia College Bobcats 
📅 March 17 — Lexington County Baseball Stadium, Lexington, SC Georgia College 13, Mount Olive 11 — a wild road win to keep the belt. The Bobcats survive a thriller by two runs. 

🐈 CURRENT DII CHAMPION: Georgia College Bobcats — 2 reigns, 1 defense. Next title defense at Augusta, March 20–22

NAIA  

LSU Shreveport didn't just win the 2025 NAIA national championship. They went 59-0 — the first undefeated season in college baseball history at any level. They visited the White House. They got a street named after them. Their win streak carried into 2026, where they opened the season by sweeping six more opponents to push the all-time mark to 65 consecutive wins. This wasn't a defending champion. This was a force of nature. A program that had rewritten the record books and hadn't lost a game in nearly two years. 

Then came Sterlington, Louisiana. Population 1,900. Ground zero for the most chaotic weekend in NAIA history. 

📅 February 6, 2026 — Cajun Collision, Sterlington, LA Central Methodist Eagles def. LSU Shreveport, 4–3 

🎤 "AFTER 65 GAMES THE STREAK FINALLY ENDS — CENTRAL METHODIST UNIVERSITY IS YOUR NEW CHAMPION!!" 
Central manufactured two runs in the third on an RBI single from Zeb Wede and a sacrifice fly from Simon "JJ" Yoakum IV, then added a solo homer from Yoakum in the fourth. LSUS tied it in the sixth on a two-run shot from Makana Olaso — but couldn't push the go-ahead run across. Westin Walls went the distance, throwing a complete game to end the longest winning streak in college baseball history. 

65 games. Gone. The belt finally falls from Shreveport’s waist. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Central Methodist Eagles  
📅 February 7 G1 — Cajun Collision, Sterlington, LA Central Methodist def. Science & Arts, 6–5 

CMU couldn't enjoy the championship glow for long — USAO came out swinging, took a 4–3 lead on back-to-back home runs from Henry Garcia and Alfonso Camacho, and had CMU on the ropes. The Eagles rallied in the seventh for two late runs to escape with a 6–5 win. Belt defended. Barely. 

📅 February 7 G2 — Cajun Collision, Sterlington, LA Louisiana Christian Wildcats def. Central Methodist, 5–3 

🎤 MISSOURI’S MOMENT IS OVER — LCU STORMS THE CAJUN COLLISION AND TAKES THE BELT! 
LCU jumped on CMU immediately — Braden McLin took the game's first pitch over the fence for a solo homer. The Eagles fought back to lead 3–1 behind a solo shot from Yoakum, but LCU clawed back with RBI hits from Caleb Brown and Drake Aldridge to tie it in the fourth, then pushed across two runs in the seventh — a bases-loaded walk and an RBI single from Matthew Cody — to seal it. Kade Linn went the distance, striking out 12. 

Central Methodist's title reign: one game, two hours, one defense. The belt is heading to Pineville, Louisiana. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Louisiana Christian Wildcats  
📅 February 7 G3 — Cajun Collision, Sterlington, LA Louisiana Christian def. Science & Arts, 7–1 

LCU didn't even leave the ballpark before having to defend. USAO — the same team that nearly knocked off CMU an hour earlier — stepped back up. LCU responded with a 7–1 blowout. Brandon Carter got the win on the mound. The Wildcats run the Cajun Collision table and go home with the belt. 

Three title changes across two days. All at the same tournament. All in Sterlington, Louisiana. The championship belt has fully lost its mind. 

📅 February 8 – February 26 

Louisiana Christian went on an extended run of dominance, defending the belt through a string of wins including a sweep of Jarvis Christian to open RRAC play. Wins piled up. The belt stayed in Pineville. 

📅 February 27, 2026 (DH G2) — Riverside Stadium, Victoria, TX Texas A&M-Victoria def. Louisiana Christian, 11–1 

🎤 THE SOUTH TEXAS HEIST — RUN-RULED BY THE MERCY RULE AND THE BELT CHANGES HANDS! 
LCU traveled to Victoria for a three-game RRAC series. The Jaguars dropped Game 1, then answered with an 11–1 run-rule explosion in the nightcap — stripping the belt from Pineville by the mercy rule. A&M-Victoria erupted and sent LCU home with a statement loss. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Texas A&M-Victoria Jaguars  
📅 February 28 — Riverside Stadium, Victoria, TX A&M-Victoria def. Louisiana Christian — series finale 

Smith's late homer sealed the win and gave A&M-Victoria their first-ever series victory over LCU. The belt stays in South Texas. 

📅 March 3, 2026 — Riverside Stadium, Victoria, TX Our Lady of the Lake Saints def. A&M-Victoria, 15–5 

🎤 THE SAINTS COME MARCHING INTO VICTORIA AND LEAVE WITH THE CROWN! 
OLLU rolled into Victoria and blew the Jaguars out of their own building — 15 runs, a complete offensive demolition. A small Catholic university in San Antonio just became the inheritors of a championship lineage that started with the most dominant team in college baseball history. The Saints didn't know it, but they were on a run. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Our Lady of the Lake Saints (San Antonio, TX) 
📅 March 4 – March 16 

OLLU reeled off 11 straight wins after taking the belt, pushing their overall record to 20-8. The Alamo basks in the cascading light of the belt as it hangs from the rafters of Missions Baseball Academy, just down the road on West Commerce Street. Then came Tuesday. Then came Austin. 

📅 March 17, 2026 — Downs Field, Austin, TX Huston-Tillotson Rams def. Our Lady of the Lake, 5–4 

🎤 THE RAMS RAID AUSTIN ON A TUESDAY NIGHT — HTU HOLDS ON 5-4! 
OLLU led going into the late innings but couldn't hold it. HTU scratched across the deciding run and held on for a 5-4 final — nine innings of NAIA championship belt drama played out on a Tuesday evening in Austin, Texas. The Rams scored in six different innings, surviving two OLLU errors and nine Saints hits to close it out. Huston-Tillotson improves to 18-13. Our Lady of the Lake falls to 20-9. The belt leaves San Antonio. 

A program that opened the season 18-13 just became NAIA champion. In a road game. On a Tuesday. This belt respects nobody's record. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Huston-Tillotson Rams  
🐏 CURRENT NAIA CHAMPION: Huston-Tillotson Rams Next title defense will be against Southern-New Orleans this weekend.

NCAA DIVISION III  

Wisconsin-Whitewater won the 2025 NCAA Division III national championship — their third title — going 49-3 and sweeping the championship series against Messiah. They entered 2026 ranked first in the polls heading into the new season, returning key pieces and loaded with the confidence of a program that has made the DIII World Series a second home. The belt was theirs by divine right. 

Then they flew to San Antonio to open the season against Trinity and not much went according to plan. 

📅 February 19, 2026 — Trinity Baseball Field, San Antonio, TX UW-Whitewater def. Trinity (Texas), 6–2 

Whitewater won this one. The defending champs took the opener of the four-game series and the belt stayed put. The Warhawks looked like the Warhawks. Then February 20 happened. 

📅 February 20, 2026 (G1) — Trinity Baseball Field, San Antonio, TX Trinity (Texas) def. UW-Whitewater, 12–1 

🎤 A DYNASTY DETHRONED — TRINITY TAKES THE BELT! 
Trinity came out swinging in Game 1 of the doubleheader and never let up — a 12-1 rout that wasn’t close from the opening pitch. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Trinity (Texas) Tigers  
Feb. 20 G2: Trinity def. UW-Whitewater, 5–4 — a tense nightcap, Warhawks within a run but can't complete it. Feb. 21: Trinity def. UW-Whitewater, 6–5 — three games in two days, three Trinity wins. UW-Whitewater goes home 1-3. 

Trinity swept the final three games of the series and the belt stayed in San Antonio.  

Feb. 27: Trinity def. Babson, 8–5 Feb. 28: Trinity def. Babson, 9–4 

Back home in San Antonio, Trinity fends off Babson in back-to-back games. The belt is firmly locked away in the basement of the Alamo. 

📅 March 1, 2026 — Trinity Baseball Field, San Antonio, TX,  Babson def. Trinity (Texas), 6–5 

🎤 BABSON COLLEGE PULLS THE UPSET — THE BEAVERS DAM THE TIGERS! 
Babson came back on the third day of the series and knocked off Trinity 6-5. The team that lost the first two games of the weekend to Trinity by a combined 17-9 score came back on Sunday and stole the belt. Trinity's home field meant nothing. Babson is your new DIII title holder — a business school from the Boston suburbs now holds the belt. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Babson Beavers 
📅 March 13, 2026 — Davenport, FL (neutral site) Bowdoin def. Babson, 11–5 

🎤 IN FLORIDA, IN MARCH, ON A FRIDAY — THE POLAR BEARS TAKE THE TITLE! 
Babson had twelve days off after taking the belt and traveled to Florida for their spring trip. Bowdoin — a NESCAC school from Brunswick, Maine — was waiting for them. The Polar Bears turned in an 11-5 blowout to strip the belt from the Beavers. A school better known for lobster rolls and liberal arts just became the DIII championship belt holder. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Bowdoin Polar Bears  
📅 March 14, 2026 (G1) — Davenport, FL (neutral site) Hartford def. Bowdoin, 2–0 

🎤 SHUTOUT. NEXT MORNING. BELT GONE. HARTFORD HAWKS ARE YOUR NEW DIII CHAMPIONS. 
Bowdoin held the belt for less than 24 hours. Hartford shut them out 2-0 the very next morning at the same Florida complex, completing one of the most efficient title changes in belt history. Bowdoin barely had time to update their travel itinerary. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Hartford Hawks  
Mar. 14 G2: Hartford def. Bowdoin, 4–3 

Hartford doubled down the same afternoon, surviving a tight 4-3 game against the same Bowdoin team. The Hawks defended the belt within hours of winning it. For one shining day, Hartford was champions of Division III baseball. 

📅 March 15, 2026 — Davenport, FL (neutral site) William Paterson def. Hartford, 13–9 

🎤 THIRTEEN RUNS. ONE DAY LATER. THE PIONEERS RAID HARTFORD'S TREASURY. 
William Paterson came to Florida, saw Hartford holding the belt, and took it by force — 13-9 in an offensive explosion. Hartford’s reign lasted exactly one day and two games. The belt now belongs to William Paterson University, a Division III program from Wayne, New Jersey that came to Florida and made a statement. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: William Paterson Pioneers  
📅 March 16, 2026 — Auburndale, FL (neutral site) Clarkson def. William Paterson, 10–8 

🎤 THE PIONEERS CAN'T HOLD THE NINTH. CLARKSON WALKS OUT OF FLORIDA WITH THE HARDWARE. 
William Paterson built a lead, carried it deep into the game, and then couldn't hold it. Clarkson came from behind twice — ultimately loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth before Jason McGee came out of the bullpen, forced a strikeout and a flyout, and slammed the door on a 10-8 Clarkson win. Nathan Hartley got the win in relief. William Paterson's title reign: one day, one game. 

The belt leaves New Jersey and heads to Potsdam, New York — home of Clarkson University, the Golden Knights, and a North Country community that bleeds green and gold. Somewhere on the banks of the Raquette River, a celebration is breaking out. 

👑 BELT MOVES TO: Clarkson Golden Knights  
📅 March 17 — Auburndale, FL Clarkson def. SUNY Oneonta, 15–2 

CJ Kanick had already thrown a gem earlier in the trip. This time the offense took over — 18 hits, 15 runs, a statement win. Clarkson improves to 7-4 and heads home to Potsdam with the belt in the equipment bag.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 1
Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Welcome to another week of Perfect Game Small School baseball — and if you're looking for clarity at the top, you've come to the wrong place. Across all three classifications, the No. 1 spot is very much an open question, and nobody is sleeping comfortably right now. In NCAA Division II, Pittsburg State is stumbling at precisely the wrong moment, leaving the door cracked wide open for hungry challengers to come knocking. In the NAIA, defending national champion LSU Shreveport has dropped four straight and suddenly looks far more vulnerable than a program of their pedigree ever expects to be. And in NCAA Division III, the race for the top ranking is less a competition and more a ten-car pileup of elite programs, none of whom have done enough to pull away — and all of whom have done plenty to deserve it. Three classifications, three vacancies at the top, and a whole lot of...

Another week of JUCO baseball and another week full of wins for No. 1 ranked Johnson County . The Cavaliers have won 18 games in a row and have swept through the Jayhawk Conference to this point, setting a new school home run record along the way. Walters State returns to the top 5 this week on the strength of a 12-game winning streak. Both McLennan and Pearl River are coming off of undefeated weeks and look like strong top 10 caliber teams, while Midland (now 30-3) continues to climb in the rankings for the third consecutive week.

High School Top 50: March 31

Tyler Russo

Another pair of weeks has gone by this high school season and with that we have another High School Top-50 Update.

Roman Keister (2030, Dade City, FL) Could not miss the barrel this weekend tallying 6 hits including 2 triples and 4 RBI. Starts the load early and controls his body well, the up the middle approach really plays in game. Also worked from off the mound for an inning and picked up a punch out.  Colton Russo (2030, Coral Springs, FL) Showed off the power burning outfielders all weekend. 5 hits including two triples that carried over the CF and RF heads. Has a good understanding about using the lower half in the swing and the bat to ball skills really impressed.  Karson Blakney (2030, St. Augustine, FL) Made his impact in a big way this week, collecting the win in the quarterfinals.

Well college baseball fans, we are officially at the half-way point of the 2026 season and what an incredible ride it has already been.  While there is some separation at the top as we start to look at programs that could be potential NCAA tournament hosts, things continue to change as clubs revitalize their seasons by winning massive series in league play.  The Top 25 seems to be getting more volatile as we reach the midway point, and the second half is setting up to be something special.  The one thing that will remain the same as it has for a month now, is that the UCLA (25-2) will still be the No. 1 team in the nation.  The Bruins are winners of 19-consecutive games and have started off Big Ten league play by sweeping 4-straight series.  The Texas Longhorns (23-4) hold tight at No. 2 this week after sweeping previous No. 11 Oklahoma (19-8) and sit atop the...
