As we head into the final week before conference tournaments, we are starting to get some clarity as to the top 8 seeds and who might be hosting first round regionals. Here is how the top teams currently lineup:
1) UC Irvine (37-11) – Went on the road and swept a solid Pacific club last week. Have now won 13 of their last 15.
2) Arizona St (38-11)- The Sun-Devils went 5-0 last week against quality opponents and now are in control in the Pac-10.
3) Cal State-Fullerton (36-13) – How good is the Big West conference? The Titans have won 7 of their last 8.
4) Texas (36-12) – Will head into the Big 12 tourney as the #1 seed.
5) LSU (38-14) – The Tigers are 10-2 in their last 12.
6) Rice (33-13) – The class of Conference USA is 10-12 in their last 12.
7) Georgia Tech (33-12) – The Yellow Jackets have taken five of last six but face a tough final weekend series at Duke.
8) North Carolina (38-13) – The top 8 teams look solid for National seeds, but the Tar Heels need to find some consistency from their rotation.
9) Florida (35-17) – A disappointing 1-3 week after last weekend’s sweep of Georgia.
10) Virginia (37-10) – Two games separate the top four ACC teams heading into the final weekend.
11) Florida St (36-14) – The Seminoles have won 14 in a row prior to dropping a tough series to Georia Tech over the weekend.
12) Mississippi (37-15) – Tough test at Arkansas this week should tell us more about the Rebels.
13) Oklahoma (37-16) – An up and down week ended with the Sooners taking 2 of 3 from rival Oklahoma St.
14) Texas Christian (31-14) – The Horned Frogs may be the best in the Mountain West, but they are 3-8 against this week’s Top 30.
15) Kansas St (38-13) – Despite a tough week, the Wildcats are still 10-2 over their last 12.
16) Clemson (34-17) – Will a weak schedule over the final two weeks hurt the Tigers come tournament time?
17) Texas A&M (33-18) – Their two best pitchers were shelled on Friday and now the Aggies close the season with a tough stretch against Texas State and Oklahoma.
18) Alabama (35-15) – The Tide has now won seven in a row.
19) Arkansas (31-17) – The Razorbacks were 0-3 last week and have a 5 game losing streak.
20) Cal-Poly (33-15) – A disappointing 1-3 week may turn some off of the Mustangs, but they have the look of a tournament sleeper to me.
21) Georgia (34-17) – Sunday’s win snapped an 8-game losing streak. Vanderbilt pitchers held slugger Rich Poythress to 2 singles in 12 ABs over the weekend.
22) East Carolina (37-15) – The Pirates have won 5 of their last 6.
23) Miami, FL (32-18) – The Hurricanes have been under .500 for over the last month.
24) Minnesota (33-14) – Huge sweep against Michigan propels the Gophers to the Big 10 lead.
25) Elon (36-14) – The biggest drawback to the Phoenix is their 1-5 record against this week’s top 30 teams.
26) Oregon St (29-14) – The Ducks are a mere .500 over the last month and are beginning to look like an early out in the tournament.
27) Missouri (30-23) – The Tigers have won 9 of their last eleven and seem to have recovered nicely from their 1-8 start. Have maybe the best college starter not named Strasburg.
28) Texas State (37-12) – The cream of the Southland Conference is 2-5 against this week’s Top 30.
29) Louisville (36-14) – Destroyed Ohio State in two midweek games and now will host South Florida this weekend for the Big East regular season title.
30) Ohio St (32-16) – Rebounded from devastating losses to Louisville to take 2 of 3 from Illinois over the weekend. The Big 10 Tourney looks to be a three team affair and I’ll take the Buckeyes.
1) UC Irvine (37-11) – Went on the road and swept a solid Pacific club last week. Have now won 13 of their last 15.
2) Arizona St (38-11)- The Sun-Devils went 5-0 last week against quality opponents and now are in control in the Pac-10.
