College baseball showed its knack for randomness in Week 5 as conference play began across most leagues, producing a slate of upsets and series decided in their respective finales.

NCAA Top 25 teams went just 64-37 (.634 win percentage) in Week 5 compared to a .702 win percentage in Week 5 last year.

Four teams—LSU, TCU, Wake Forest and UTSA—dropped out of the Baseball America College Baseball Top 25 rankings. Kentucky returns to the poll for the first time since Week 2 while Arkansas State, Arizona State and Oregon join for the first time in 2026. This is Arkansas State’s first time ever in Baseball America’s Top 25.

Just saw UC has a dude with 18 jacks already. That's absurd for March 22.

Coats hit #19 today...of course, it was a solo job in a losing cause against the mighty (now 8-18) Xavier Musketeers!
