Nebraska Baseball Earns Preseason Top-25 Ranking by D1Baseball
Nebraska baseball has already started to drum up national attention prior to the start of the season.
A year after playing in the Stillwater NCAA Regional, the Huskers will begin their 2025 campaign at No. 24 in the D1Baseball preseason top 25. Nebraska and No. 12 Oregon are the only Big Ten Conference teams in the rankings.
Nebraska's 2025 schedule features three ranked opponents: No. 3 LSU, No. 7 Oregon State, and No. 16 Vanderbilt. The Huskers will face the Commodores on Feb. 15, the Tigers on March 1, and begin a weekend series with Oregon State on March 28,
The D1Baseball top 25 has Texas A&M in the No. 1 spot after the Aggies' No. 2 finish in 2024. The Southeastern Conference is also represented by No. 3 LSU, No. 4 Tennessee, No. 5 Arkansas, No. 8 Georgia, No. 10 Florida, No. 16 Vanderbilt, No. 18 Mississippi State and No. 19 Texas.
The Atlantic Coast Conference has the No. 2 team with Virginia and shows depth with No. 6 North Carolina, No. 9 Florida State, No. 11 Duke, No. 13 NC State, No. 14 Wake Forest and No. 15 Clemson. The Big 12 Conference is represented by No. 17 Oklahoma State, No. 21 Arizona and No. 23 TCU.
Also in the rankings are No. 7 Oregon State, No. 20 Dallas Baptist, No. 22 UC Santa Barbara, and No. 25 Troy.
Nebraska is coming off a 40-22 season that saw them win the Big Ten Tournament and make their sixth NCAA Regional appearance since 2014. Last week's Perfect Game preseason top 25 did not include the Huskers, while USA Today and the NCBWA have yet to release their rankings.
