How LSU ranks by college baseball polls going into week 1 of SEC play

LSU baseball is ranked No. 1 in every poll after sweeping Samford this weekend. 

This marks the fourth straight week of the regular season that the Tigers (15-1) have been an all-consensus No. 1 team. LSU will host University of New Orleans on Tuesday night before traveling to College Station for its first Southeastern Conference series against Texas A&M.

LSU has won six of its last seven games in seven innings and is on a 10-game winning streak. Its last loss on Feb. 25 vs. Iowa did not drop its ranking. The Tigers came back and won the Karbach Round Rock Classic by a run differential that Sunday when they beat Sam Houston State. 

The Aggies (12-4) are ranked No. 15 by Collegiate Baseball, No. 11 by Baseball America, No. 19 by Perfect Game and No. 15 by D1 Baseball. In their last nonconference series, the Aggies swept Northern Kentucky 8-1, 12-1 (7 innings) and 10-7. 

Texas A&M is on a seven-game winning streak after losing to No. 2 Louisville 14-5 on March 3 at the Shriners Classic. 

The SEC has five to six teams in the top 10 of every college baseball poll. Collegiate baseball ranks Tennessee No. 3, Florida No. 6, Arkansas No. 7 and Vanderbilt No. 8 with Ole Miss trailing just outside the Top 10 at No. 11. 

Tennessee (14-3) is ranked as high as No. 2 in D1 Baseball’s poll and as low as No. 4 by Baseball America and Perfect Game’s polls.

Florida (15-3) is No. 6 by D1 Baseball, but No. 2 in Baseball America and Perfect Game’s polls.

Ole Miss (14-2) is in the Top 10 at No. 6 by Baseball America, No. 8 by Perfect Game and No. 3 by D1 Baseball.

Arkansas (13-2) is No. 7 across three polls, but No. 3 by Perfect Game.

Vanderbilt (12-5) is No. 6 by D1 Baseball and No. 8 by both Baseball America and Collegia Baseball, then No. 9 by Perfect Game.
