Top-ranked Texas put together a ridiculous weekend from an offensive standpoint against Rice and remains the No. 1 team in the land in the latest D1Baseball Top 25 Rankings.
While the Longhorns remain at the top, there was some movement in the Top 10.

Mississippi State fell from No. 4 to No. 7 after losing a home series to previously No. 24 Long Beach State, while Florida State joined the Top 10 following an impressive weekend, particularly on the mound.
