From now through the end of the season, we'll be tracking all of the major top 25 polls in a weekly post after the rankings drop every Monday. Instead of just listing all them, though, we're gonna be making a composite ranking that averages the top three polls: D1 Baseball, Baseball America and Perfect Game.
The big shakeup in the SEC this week is the fall of Vandy, which lost two of three to Mississippi State. The Dores fell from the No. 3 composite down to No. 7, dipping as low as 11 in Baseball America's rankings. State's climb was modest -- up one spot to No. 13 -- thanks to a pair of midweek losses that actually left them below .500 on the week.
In the ACC, Miami won a top 25 showdown against Louisville, sending the Canes up a couple spots to No. 6. It's the second series loss of the season for Louisville, though they still somehow ended up one spot ahead of Ole Miss (who beat them a few weeks ago) in the Perfect Game poll.
Oh and keep an eye for the state of South Carolina, where the Gamecocks and Clemson both swept conference foes over the weekend: SC made easy work of ranked Arkansas while the Tigers put away a Boston College team fresh off a series win over NC State.
Note: RPI is *not* used to calculate the composite rankings.
