College baseball Week 6: Top 25 rankings, top moments and what to watch

UCLA is still No. 1! The only newcomer to this week’s top 10 was Florida State, which snuck into the 10 spot as NC State dropped to 14th after a 2-2 week. Four new teams entered the rankings: Ole Miss, Arizona State, Notre Dame, and Nebraska.

Here are the entire top 25 rankings as of March 23, plus our favorite moments and what we’re watching in the week to come.

Top moments

Everything has been coming up Georgia in college baseball. Between a terrific home run robbery against Tennessee and now this walk-off homer, you just can’t ever count the Dawgs.

Against a tough opponent in then-No. 18 Florida, Alabama’s Tyler Fay threw the Crimson Tide’s first solo no-hitter in 84 years.

And in perhaps the biggest game of the week, Auburn knocked off Texas in dramatic fashion.

Player to watch

Trey Beard, LHP, Florida State

Beard is quickly becoming one of the best pitchers in all of college baseball, and not for nothing, FSU’s rotation of Wes Mendes, Bryson Moore and Beard has been dynamite, but we want to focus on Beard. He has a 1.99 ERA and 35 Ks on the season. He had a season-high 14 (!) strikeouts against Wake Forest a couple weekends back and followed up that performance with 7 strikeouts against NC State. FSU has a midweek game against Florida and then a series against Duke where he will surely continue to put on a show.

Series to watch

No. 8 Oklahoma at No. 2 Texas

Game 1: 8 p.m. on Thursday (SEC Network)
Game 2: 8 p.m. on Friday (SEC Network)
Game 3: 5 p.m. on Saturday (SEC Network)

With plenty of midweek ranked matchups, like Oregon State at USC and another installment of Mississippi State-Southern Miss, We’re turning our attention to another high-stakes conference series between Oklahoma and Texas. Texas has been playing strong the whole season, and they have one of the sport’s best records at 20-3. Oklahoma meanwhile really took college baseball by surprise this season and has been steadily climbing up the rankings with impressive play. Something the Sooners need to show they’re capable of? Winning in a tough road environment, so what better opportunity than this weekend in Austin.
