Dropped out of the Top 25 Florida State — 20, Oklahoma — 22, Illinois — 25

Noteworthy

• The PAC-12 is really starting to heat up. With four teams in the top 10 (as many as the SEC) next week will be a battle between No. 1 and No. 2 as Stanford hosts UCLA. The week after that sets up for another top 10 match up as Arizona State hosts Oregon State.
• Connecticut climbs into the polls by taking two of three at UCF. The Huskies now have series wins at UCF, Houston and a neutral site win against Louisville. Mid-April’s match up against No. 11 East Carolina could be a good one.
• Florida State certainly had a rough week but it could have been worse. Illinois was ranked for the first time this year and responded by losing a mid-week to Indiana State and then getting swept by Iowa. The only game the Illini scored more than one run in this week they gave up four.

FSU in other polls

• Florida State failed to make the cut in Baseball America’s poll.
• FSU also fell out of the Coach’s poll.
