College Baseball: 2023 Final Rankings
For the last month, we've been riveted watching postseason college baseball. Eight teams made it to Omaha for the Men's College World Series. All eight finished in the top eight of the final rankings of the season.
After winning the MCWS, LSU is the No. 1 team across all four of the polls monitored by KillerFrogs. And Florida, as the national runner-up, is the No. 2 team across all four polls.
TCU (44-24) skyrocketed up the rankings from where they were at the end of the regular season after playing in the national semifinals in Omaha.
Texas, the only other team from the Big 12 to make the Super Regional round, ended up as high as No. 9 in the Baseball America poll and as low as No. 14 in the D1Baseball poll. Oklahoma State, the only team from the Big 12 to host a Regional round, finished in only one poll - No. 23 in the Baseball America poll.
Several former opponents of TCU also finished ranked - Indiana State, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, and Dallas Baptist.
Here are the highlights from D1Baseball, Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, and the USA Today Coaches Poll:
