Florida State remained No. 2 after going 4-1, including a series win against Maryland. Virginia fell to No. 3 despite a winning a conference road series against Duke. The Cavs scored just seven runs all weekend, as their vaunted offense has yet to find its stride.Oregon State and N.C. State round out the top five, followed by Louisiana-Lafayette, Vanderbilt, LSU, Cal State Fullerton—which fell from No. 4—and Texas.In addition to Fullerton’s drop, other big sliders were Mississippi State, which fell to 24th after a 2-3 week; UCLA, which is No. 25 after going 1-3; and TCU and Fresno State, which dropped out after 2-2 weeks.Teams entering the rankings are Tennessee, which comes in at No. 22 after winning a road series at Arizona State, and UC Santa Barbara, which knocked off Mississippi State twice and Arizona once in Tucson.
