EspañolAnother week, another shakeup at the top of the USA TODAY Sports college baseball poll.
UCLA (9-2) has yanked the top spot from LSU (11-1) after the Tigers suffered their first loss of the season against McNeese State on Feb. 24. The Bruins also lost to San Diego State on Feb. 24, but wins over ranked opponents Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State bolstered the Bruins among voters.
Texas retains the No. 3 seed, while Mississippi State jumps Georgia Tech to No. 4. Arkansas falls three spots to No. 9 after suffering its second loss of the season.
After a scorching hot start to the season, the Oklahoma Sooners stay pat after suffering their first two losses of the year. The other biggest movers and shakers were Wake Forest jumping four spots to No. 16 and Miami falling five spots to No. 21.
