Here are the updated World Baseball Network college baseball rankings as of March 24.
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. Tennessee Volunteers (22-2, 5-1 SEC, (-) from last week) – The Tennessee Volunteers have yet to move from the top spot this year. They stay put this week after a big series win on the road against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
2. Arkansas Razorbacks (23-2, 5-1 SEC, +2 from last week) – A sweep against the South Carolina Gamecocks showed just how good Arkansas can be. They outscored USC 35-9 this weekend and scored 11 or more runs in every game.
3. Georgia Bulldogs (24-2, 5-1 SEC, +2 from last week) – The Georgia Bulldogs stormed into Gainesville and got a big series sweep against the Florida Gators. They outscored the Gators 40-13 and hit five home runs as a team in Saturday’s matchup.
4. Florida State Seminoles (20-3, 5-1 ACC, -1 from last week) – All in all, Florida State had a good weekend with a series win over the Miami Hurricanes on the road. An ugly 9-3 midweek loss to Mercer drops them back a spot. However, this is still a top five team in college baseball.
5. Clemson Tigers (23-2, 4-2 ACC, +1 from last week) – Clemson cracks the top five with a statement series win over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The Tigers won the Sunday game in thrilling fashion with Tryston McCladdie scoring on a wild pitch to end the game and clinch the series win.
6. Oregon State Beavers (18-4, +1 from last week) – Oregon State went on the road and got a series win over Cal Poly. This, combined with a midweek win over Rutgers, moves them up a spot knocking on the door of being a top five team.
7. Texas Longhorns (19-3, 5-1 SEC, +1 from last week) – The Texas Longhorns are perhaps the biggest winners from this past weekend. They earned a series win over LSU who was ranked second in the country. The Longhorns have started SEC play 5-1 in their first year in the league.
8. LSU Tigers (22-3, 4-2 SEC, -6 from last week) – LSU ended up losing a series in Austin to Texas. Despite this setting them back a bit, they did grab one win against the Longhorns on Friday. The Tigers, with all that talent, remain a top ten team in the country.
9. Oregon Ducks (19-5, 7-2 Big Ten, +4 from last week) – Oregon moved up a bit because a lot of teams ahead of them lost their series. The Ducks defeated Rutgers in a weekend series to move to 19-5 overall, and 7-2 in Big Ten play.
10. Oklahoma Sooners (20-3, 4-2 SEC, +5 from last week) – Oklahoma is having a decent first season in the SEC. They got their second straight series win in conference play against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Sooners are now 20-3 overall in the 2025 college baseball season.
11. North Carolina Tar Heels (18-6, 4-5 ACC, +3 from last week) – North Carolina found stability this weekend with a series win on the road against Boston College. This is their first series win in conference play. A midweek loss to UConn causes them to stay out of the top 10, though.
12. N.C. State Wolfpack (17-7, 4-2 ACC, +4 from last week) – The North Carolina State Wolfpack had a productive week. A 13-0 shutout win over Davidson was followed up with a series win over the weekend against the Pittsburgh Panthers.
13. Alabama Crimson Tide (22-3, 4-2 SEC, -1 from last week) – Alabama was riding high heading into this weekend until the Tennessee Volunteers were able to take them down. The Crimson Tide did get a game against the Vols. They also won a tough midweek game against South Alabama.
14. Vanderbilt Commodores (19-5, 4-2 SEC, +4 from last week) – After a series loss against Auburn to open SEC play, Vanderbilt gets a big sweep at home against Texas A&M. The 15-0 start at Hawkins Field is the best start at home for the Commodores since 2007.

16. Florida Gators (18-8, 0-6 SEC, -6 from last week) – Florida got swept at home against the Georgia Bulldogs after they were looking to bounce back from a series loss against Tennessee. Florida has been swept in back-to-back SEC series for the first time since 2001.
17. Arizona Wildcats (18-5, 5-1 Big 12, +2 from last week) – Arizona moves up in the rankings a couple spots after a midweek win against Kansas and a weekend series win against West Virginia. The Wildcats have now begun Big 12 play 5-1.
