A week ago there was real debate as to who should make their top 25 debut between Georgia Tech and UCLA. We settled on Georgia Tech, but UCLA has made it emphatically clear they belong in the top 25 and make their debut all the way up at 15. Georgia Tech actually moves up two spots despite a 2-2 week as we largely felt they still belong in the top 25, but also because those around them had rougher weeks. This week saw the most teams getting a vote for the top 25 but there seems to be a pretty clear top tier of teams that ends at nine.
Our NCAA baseball rankings team of Shaun Kernahan, Michael Kelley and Kurt Moody present their Top 25 for this week in college baseball.

When not scouting draft prospects, he is the Director of Baseball Operations for the Mile High Collegiate Baseball League, a collegiate wood bat league in Colorado.

Born in Arizona. Raised in the Midwest, and with lots of baseball. When I’m not writing about baseball or purchasing my next baseball card, I can be seen coasting down the highway to yet another travel baseball tournament with my wife and son. I love the Braves, bat flips and outfield assists.
Based deep in the heart of Texas, I am surrounded by the absolute best of college baseball year after year. From midweeks at The Dish to weekends watching Olsen Magic, I love the energy of D1 college baseball. For the past five years, I have been covering the Detroit Tigers organization for Prospects1500 while also ranking MLB Draft eligible players as they join the FYPD and Dynasty world.
Being able to learn from the game’s best coaches and watch the student athletes passionately compete is a blessing I do not take lightly. While rooted in SEC country, I am a B1G Ten truther to my core. I will always stop for a prospect discussion or for random baseball trivia. You can usually find me throughout the baseball season walking the baselines and concourses. Remember friends, “Every game is someone’s first game!”
