The Clemson Tigers continue to dominate college baseball, holding strong at No. 1 in the latest USA TODAY Sports college baseball poll.

With the postseason fast approaching, the Tigers are poised to make a deep run and vie for a national championship.
Clemson’s success this year can be attributed to their well-rounded roster and experienced coaching staff. Their pitching rotation has been among the best in the country, consistently shutting down opposing offenses and giving the Tigers a competitive edge. Meanwhile, the offense has delivered when it matters most, with key hitters stepping up in pressure situations to drive in runs and secure victories.
Climbing to No. 2 is Clemson’s SEC rival, the Texas Longhorns, who have surged in the rankings following a strong late-season push. Texas boasts a powerful lineup and a deep bullpen, making them one of the most dangerous teams in the country. Their ascent sets the stage for an exciting postseason matchup with Clemson, as both teams look to claim college baseball’s top prize.
Also rounding out the top five are North Carolina, Arkansas, and Oregon — three programs that have shown resilience and skill throughout the season. North Carolina has been impressive with its balanced attack and strong pitching staff. Arkansas continues to be a force in the SEC, leveraging its depth and experience, while Oregon has quietly risen as a tough competitor in the Pac-12.
This week’s poll highlights just how competitive and exciting college baseball has become this season. With several elite teams battling for positioning, every game in the coming weeks will carry immense significance.
