2026 College Baseball Top 25 Rankings Update: Week 11

While last week felt calm in terms of movers across the top 25, week 11 couldn’t have been more chaotic, continuing to build the large clump of teams between 15-40. The postseason builds with each passing week where truly anybody could come out of any regional.

Let’s dive into this week’s top 25 update.

Biggest Risers

Cincinnati joins the rankings this week after a huge series win over West Virginia. While the 10-11 conference record doesn’t jump off the paper, the Bearcats continue to be a team that can beat anyone on any weekend with the patented “Bischel Ball” style of play.

Coastal Carolina handled business against Texas State this weekend, further building their lead in the Sun Belt. They’re now 17-4 with a four-game bump over Southern Miss, and the likelihood of two SBC hosts increases.

Kansas put together another great week of baseball with another win over Nebraska and sweeping the Wildcats of Kansas State in a big rivalry series as they build their lead in the Big 12 and get closer to a Lawrence Host site.

Biggest Sliders

Florida State hit the West Coast this weekend as Stanford came away with a huge ACC sweep capped off by a walk-off bomb by Rintaro Sasaki. With an upcoming series with a red-hot Pitt Panthers team, the ‘Noles will need to put some puzzle pieces together heading into the postseason.

Virginia falls to 12-12 in ACC play after suffering a sweep at the hands of the Pitt Panthers, getting outscored 25-8 over three games. The Cavs continue to be hot and cold heading into an ACC bye-week.

Missouri State falls out of the rankings after hitting the road at Louisiana Tech on the wrong end of a sweep, in a crucial CUSA series. While the Bears outlook on the postseason is still bright, they’ll need to find a CUSA series win against Jax State next weekend.

Others Receiving Votes

Tennessee continues to trend in the right direction after another big SEC series win over Alabama, but they’re still playing a game of hot-and-cold this season while UCF dropped a crucial series in conference play to Cincinnati.

Other Key Storylines

Sitting at 21-0 in conference play, UCLA continues their chase for Big 10 perfection with a matchup against the Spartans of Michigan State next weekend.

The postseason picture has only gotten blurrier as the top 16 seeds are ever-changing week over week, with 20-plus teams with legitimate cases to host.
