College Baseball Rankings: Vanderbilt, Virginia Take No. 1 In The Polls

There's a new No. 1 team in college baseball this week. In Baseball America's latest Top 25 rankings, the Vanderbilt Commodores took over the top spot after the former No. 1 Gators dropped two of three from the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Commodores took two of three from the Arkansas Razorbacks over the weekend and won a midweek contest over Tennessee Tech.

The Virginia Cavaliers could challenge for the No. 1 spot if they aren't already. The Cavs completed a three-game sweep of Maryland over the weekend. Staff ace Danny Hultzen is 5-0 in six games. He's allowed 23 hits in 40 1/3 innings and has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 71:7.

Stetson, Troy, Southern Miss and Alabama were the four new teams to enter BA's rankings this week.

In the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper's Top 25, Virginia emerged as the new No. 1 team, while Vanderbilt remained as the No. 2 team. It is the same result in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Top 25 poll. However, Florida is No. 3 in that one, while No. 4 in the others.

Out of the Mountain West Conference, TCU is No. 15 in BA's poll and No. 14 in the other two. UNLV received seven votes in the Coaches poll.

Here are Baseball America's top 25 teams:
