College Baseball Rankings: D1Baseball shakes up top 25 after Week 11

Just three weeks are left until college baseball’s regular season comes to an end. After all of the Week 11 action, D1Baseball has released updated top 25 rankings.

While there aren’t a ton of changes right at the top, there are plenty throughout the rest of the top 25. Seven ranked teams lost their series over the weekend, including two top ten teams, both of which were swept.

The weekend brough just three series between two ranked teams, but they were big ones. No. 11 Auburn hosted No. 14 Oklahoma, No. 17 Ole Miss hosted No. 5 Georgia, and No. 21 Florida hosted No. 7 Texas A&M.

There’s plenty of movement in this week’s D1Baseball top 25. Here’s how the full rankings look entering Week 12.
