College Baseball Poll Watching Week 7: Rocky Top Still On Top

Three Big 12 teams in the Top 10; TCU hangs on (barely) in three of the national polls

Barry Lewis

"Good ol' Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee."

Tennessee went 4-0 last week, including a sweep over another Top 10 team, Vanderbilt. The Volunteers have only lost one game this season, a 7-2 loss to Texas in the Shriners College Classic in Houston in early March. With their huge week this past week, Tennessee is the unanimous top choice in all of this week's national polls. 

In the Big 12, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and Texas won their weekend series and are in the Top 10 in at least three of these polls. Texas Tech is the highest-ranked of these three, ranking No. 3, No. 4, or No. 5.

It was a tough week for TCU. The Horned Frogs went 1-4 on the week, including losing their weekend conference series to West Virginia at home. The Frogs had made it as high as #12 last week. The Frogs did still barely hold on to a ranking this week in three of the four polls - No. 23 (D1Baseball), No. 19 (Perfect Game), and No. 21 (USA Today Coaches Poll). The Frogs dropped out of the Collegiate Baseball poll.

Here are the highlights from the D1Baseball, Collegiate Baseball, Perfect Game, and USA Today polls:
