"College baseball's opening weekend brought us everything we could have dreamed of. From upsets of top teams -- UCLA dropped a game to UC San Diego and Louisville dropped its series to Michigan State -- to historic grand slams, this season is already packing a punch. And with that, we have a new top 25, but it maybe doesn't have as many shakeups as you would think."
"Despite the Bruins' loss, they keep the No. 1 spot, and the five teams behind them remained steady. But Cardinals' series loss sent them down the rankings from No. 8 to No. 15. Elsewhere, Vanderbilt and Arizona fell out of the rankings, making room for Oklahoma and West Virginia. Here are how the entire top 25 rankings look as of Feb. 16, plus our favorite plays and what we're watching in the week to come."
"Tyce Armstrong did the unthinkable in Baylor's opening weekend game and hit not one, not two, but THREE grand slams for the Bears! He is just the second player ever to accomplish such a feat, the first being Louisville's Jim LaFountain on March 24, 1976. With a start like this, what else will the senior have in store for the rest of the season?"
Opening weekend delivered upsets, dramatic finishes, and historic offensive outbursts across college baseball. UCLA lost a game but retained the No. 1 ranking while the five teams behind them held steady. Louisville’s series loss to Michigan State dropped the Cardinals from No. 8 to No. 15. Vanderbilt and Arizona fell out of the rankings, allowing Oklahoma and West Virginia to enter. Baylor’s Tyce Armstrong hit three grand slams, becoming the second player ever to do so. LSU produced a grand slam in a 21-7 win, and Oregon State won on a last-play finish. A top-10 TCU-UCLA series is scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
