Here are the final top 25 college baseball rankings from World Baseball Network, ahead of the conference tournaments that are and will be happening this week.  

The number next to the team’s name indicates how much they moved from last week’s rankings. A (-) sign indicates no movement and/or a new team into the top 25. 

1. Oregon Ducks (41-13, 22-8 Big Ten, (-) from last week) – The Oregon Ducks swept the Iowa Hawkeyes enroute to a Big Ten regular season championship in their first season in the conference. They finish the regular season as World Baseball Network’s number one team in the country.

2. LSU Tigers (42-13, 19-11 SEC, +1 from last week) – LSU moves up a spot following a series win on the road against the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Tigers are more than likely going to be a national seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament once the field is set.

3. North Carolina Tar Heels (39-12, 18-11 ACC, +1 from last week) – North Carolina made some noise towards earning a national seed this weekend, getting a series win on the road against Florida State in Tallahassee. Jake Knapp set the tone early with a complete game on Thursday.

4. Oregon State Beavers (41-12-1, +1 from last week) – Oregon State ended the season with a weekend sweep of Long Beach State in Corvallis. The Beavers will be a host for the NCAA Tournament, despite having no conference tournament to play in.

5. Georgia Bulldogs (42-14, 18-12 SEC, +1 from last week) – The Georgia Bulldogs ended the season with a series win in Athens against the Texas A&M Aggies. The Bulldogs finish the season with 29 wins at home in Foley Field.

6. Arkansas Razorbacks (43-12, 20-10 SEC, +1 from last week) – Arkansas defeated the Tennessee Volunteers in two games during their series at Baum-Walker Stadium this weekend. Head coach Dave Van Horn’s team will look to win the SEC Tournament for the third time in program history this week.

7. Texas Longhorns (42-11, 22-8 SEC, +1 from last week) – Texas won the SEC regular season championship along with their series against Oklahoma this weekend. The first season in the SEC and with head coach Jim Schlossnagle has been successful for the Longhorns.

8. Florida State Seminoles (37-13, 17-10 ACC, -6 from last week) – A lot of teams behind Florida State won their series. Thus, the Seminoles drop back to eighth in the country from number two last week. The Seminoles are still well within national seed territory, even after the series loss to North Carolina.

9. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (44-11, 26-4 Sun Belt, (-) from last week) – Coastal Carolina rightfully finishes as a top ten team in the country. The Chanticleers finished as Sun Belt regular season champions after sweeping Old Dominion this past weekend.

12. Dallas Baptist Patriots (38-14, 21-6 C-USA, +4 from last week) – Dallas Baptist earned not only a series win over the Liberty Flames but also won the Conference USA regular season title. The Patriots will match up against Liberty again for the C-USA Tournament in Lynchburg, Va.

14. N.C. State Wolfpack (33-18, 17-11 ACC, -3 from last week) – N.C. State dropped their final series of the season to the Stanford Cardinal in Raleigh this season. A great run in the ACC Tournament in Durham, N.C. can help the Wolfpack get back into the hosting discussion.

15. UC Irvine Anteaters (39-13, 24-6 Big West, -1 from last week) – UC Irvine lost their weekend series to Cal State Fullerton. The Anteaters were able to salvage a win in their final game of the season. The win also got UC Irvine the Big West regular season title.

22. Tennessee Volunteers (41-15, 16-14 SEC, -5 from last week) – Tennessee has now lost five straight SEC series after dropping two out of three games to Arkansas this weekend. The Volunteers are fighting to host a regional in the NCAA Tournament this week in the SEC Tournament.
