Arizona State dropping out of the Baseball America Top 25 college baseball rankings leaves the Pac-12 Conference with three ranked squads this week. 

No. 5 Stanford moved up three spots following a three-game sweep of Arizona State. Oregon State moved up two spots to No. 17 after winning two of three games against Utah. 

Oregon fell seven spots to No. 24. The Ducks have lost four of their last five, which includes a series defeat to USC. The Trojans took two of three games from Oregon last week.

Four weeks ago, USC was ranked No. 21, but the Trojans went on to get swept by Oregon State and Washington and haven't been included in the four polls since.

Here's the full Top 25 for May 8.

TROJANS BOUNCE BACK

Since losing five games in a row to Washington, Long Beach State and Cal State Fullerton, USC won its series against No. 24 Oregon to get to 27-20-1 on the year. The Trojans' 27 wins are the most since 2016 when USC went 28-28. 

Head coach Andy Stankiewicz has vastly exceeded expectations in his first year at USC.
