After a hard-working series with competitors, Texas is still ranked No. 1 as we enter the first week of May. Longhorns operates at Texas A&M Aggies in Austin and remains the top class throughout baseball and SEC. But it's the only top team that takes its place, as ten of the remaining ten have made considerable changes.
After defeating Tennessee, Louisiana State University (LSU) jumped to second place after exiting the top ten for the first time this season. North Carolina has repositioned the top five, with Oregon jumping seven positions to sixth.
The biggest climber this week was North Carolina State University, and North Carolina rose to 13th place after sweeping Clemson, with the biggest fallen in Oklahoma, down seven locations and Arizona down eight.
Georgia Tech was the only team to exit the rankings this week and was replaced by Kansas. Jayhawks are one of the best teams of the 12 giants this season and have played a spot in Utah.
This is the top 25 rankings as of April 28.
Play this week
This capture happened early last week, but we still like it. Florida State's chase Williams showed his speed with this incredible snatch. Just put him anywhere on the field and it seems he will be there soon.

Jones didn’t have a strong year last season, but when he was most important, his momentum grew bigger. He has 14 home runs (half of last year’s total) and 58 RBIs (he has only 14 compared to last year’s total. He has been the instrumental piece of this Tigers, so as the regular season starts to end, you turn your eyes to him and LSU to get to know their sleeves.
Watched series
Clemson, Florida
Let's go to the ACC and let's watch our series this week, and if Williams' clip from above isn't enough to sell you, that's between a few top five teams. Clemson slipped over the weekend and was swept by Raleigh's NC State team, so the Tigers really need to get back on track like Florida State. The Seminoles also gave up the series over the weekend, but they did leave Louisville at least one victory. With the series playing in Tallahassee, FSU has taken the upper hand, but as we just saw, even these top teams are vulnerable to surprising losses.
