With two more weeks of conference play, teams across college baseball are eager to make one last push before the conference tournament rolls around and prove they deserve a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
No new teams broke into this week’s Top 25 for the second straight time, but there was still plenty of movement. Kansas moves into the top 10 for the first time this season. Arkansas and Alabama were a couple of other big risers this week, each jumping five spots.
Oklahoma and Nebraska took big slides in the rankings, dropping nine spots to Nos. 24 and 25, respectively. UCLA is on top with the other five standing still.
Here’s the full top 25 through May 4, plus our favorite moments and what we’re watching next week.

It could be a preview of the Big Ten Tournament Championship as the league’s top squads face off in Los Angeles. UCLA has come out strong in every conference series, and the Bruins have dropped just four games all season and have already wrapped up the regular-season title. Oregon, however, could pose the Bruins’ toughest challenge yet and prepare them for the postseason.
