Even though Mercer was very outmatched by Florida State it was the Seminoles’ toughest test of the year and they easily passed it by sweeping the Bears (the mid-week game against the USF Bulls was rained out). FSU is 1 of 3 teams ranked in D1Baseball’s poll to maintain a perfect record thus far into the season.

Top 25 Poll (with record)

  1. Vanderbilt (9-2)
  2. UCLA (9-2)

Dropped out of the Top 25 Oklahoma State — 19, Clemson — 23, Cal State Fullerton — 24, Illinois — 25

Noteworthy

  • Two top 5 teams struggled quite a bit this week with No. 13 LSU getting swept at No. 12 Texas and No. 14 Texas Tech going 0-fer at the Frisco Classic (the Red Raiders were not able to play their 3rd game due to cold). LSU losing to Texas is the more surprising of the 2 as the Longhorns put up at least 7 runs in every game against the Tigers.
  • Speaking of the Longhorns, they certainly have a tough stretch coming up and will learn a lot more about their team. Next week they visit No. 6 Stanford, the week after that they host No. 14 Texas Tech and No. 15 Arkansas and then head to No. 23 TCU.
  • The ACC maintains 4 teams in the polls after NC State moved up to 22 with a sweep of Minnesota and Clemson dropped it’s series (2-1) to rival No. 24 South Carolina. Clemson needs pick themselves up quickly as they visit Furman on Tuesday and host No. 3 North Carolina over the weekend.
