The 2025 college baseball regular season has officially crossed the finish line—and what a wild ride it’s been. From coast to coast, this spring brought pure chaos in the best way possible. Every two weeks, it seemed like four or five teams were cycling in and out of the Top 25.
Upsets? We were practically writing a new script each week, with 8–10 ranked teams going down on any given weekend. That volatility made this ranking one of the toughest to nail down all year—but also one of the most fun.
With conference tournaments on deck, we’ve compiled our final Just Baseball College Baseball Top 25 of the regular season. RPI, strength of schedule, and head-to-head results all factored into this one.
Let’s dive in.

1) College Baseball Final Top 25

2) Final Top 25 Rankings

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26109676-scaled-e1747753226574-768x432.jpg

The Longhorns finish the regular season at 42–11, including 22 wins in SEC play, and sit fourth in the RPI. That’s enough to secure the top spot in our final regular season poll.
Texas dropped just two series all year—one to No. 2 Arkansas and another to a resurgent Florida squad that flipped the switch late—but it bounced back with a convincing SEC series win over Oklahoma this past weekend.
Injuries threatened to derail the season early. Ace Jared Spencer went down for the year, and star outfielder Max Belyeu suffered a thumb injury. Back in February, Associate Head Coach Nolan Cain told us this offense “goes when Belyeu goes.” But the Longhorns proved they could keep the engine running without him.
Arizona transfer Ethan Mendoza has been a revelation, while freshman Adrian Rodriguez is building a strong case for SEC Freshman of the Year. Around them, Rylan Galvan, Jalin Flores, Will Gasparino, and Kimble Schuessler have all stepped up in Belyeu’s absence.
On the mound, Ruger Riojas filled in admirably for Spencer before teams began to adjust. But Dylan Volantis has turned heads, dominating hitters with a 1.66 ERA and flashing potential as one of the SEC’s premier freshmen.
This team is tough, polished, and remarkably well-coached. Every player knows their role, and the pitching staff continues to deliver no matter who’s on the mound. Credit to Jim Schlossnagle, Nolan Cain, Max Weiner, and the entire Longhorns staff for orchestrating a masterclass of a season.
They’ll enter Hoover as the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament with their sights set squarely on the national No. 1 seed.

3) A New Number One – Texas Longhorns

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_5377558-2-scaled-e1747752415621-768x432.jpg

Dallas Baptist is right back where it belongs. The Patriots went 38–14 overall and 23–5 in Conference USA, riding a late-season surge to reclaim the regular season crown and a spot in our Top 25.
Winners of 10 of their last 12, DBU checks in at No. 19 in RPI and continues to show why it’s one of the premier mid-major programs in the country.
The Patriots secured a key series win over Liberty, including a 6–0 shutout behind a dominant start from Matt Peters (6 IP, 10 K). Gabe Jay launched a solo shot, and Chayton Krauss added a clutch two-run single in the seventh.
Their pitching staff came up big again against Kennesaw State and FIU. In a 9–3 win over FIU, Liam Watt, Mason Swinney, and Jerrod Jenkins teamed up for six shutout innings out of the bullpen.
With momentum on their side, the Patriots are gearing up for a serious run in the Conference USA Tournament.

4) Who's In? #20 Dallas Baptist Patriots

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_23393635-scaled-e1747753975150-768x432.jpg

Duke was a bit of a mystery entering the season, but the Blue Devils answered the bell in ACC play. At 36–18 overall and 17–13 in conference, they’re peaking at the right time and land the final spot in our Top 25.
Offensively, Ben Miller (.330 AVG, 18 HR) and AJ Gracia (12 HR, 49 RBI) have led the charge, giving this lineup plenty of firepower.
On the bump, Owen Proksch has stepped up as a key arm—his five innings of one-run ball helped Duke take a crucial win over NC State.
Despite a stumble against Georgia Tech to close the regular season, Duke’s 29–8 home record and strong ACC résumé should give them confidence heading into tournament play.

5) Who's In? #25 Duke Blue Devils

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_18290348-1-e1747752514469-768x432.jpg

Few storylines are better than Georgia Tech grabbing the ACC regular season title on the final weekend of the year. Thanks to Florida State’s win over UNC and a statement victory over Duke, the Yellow Jackets are officially champions.
The 8–2 series-clinching win over Duke locked it in—and sent Georgia Tech surging back into the rankings.
It’s been a season of highs and lows. The Jackets dropped out of the Top 25 after a sweep at Miami and a series loss to Virginia. But they responded like a postseason team—rattling off six straight wins, taking a series from Louisville, and finishing strong.
They enter the ACC Tournament 20th in RPI and could sneak into hosting range with a deep run. Critics will point to their strength of schedule—they didn’t face UNC, Florida State, or NC State—but this team has plenty to prove in Charlotte.

6) Who's In? #16 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_20913987-5-scaled-e1747752566299-768x432.jpg

At 45–9, Northeastern’s season is nothing short of historic. A 21-game win streak, including a 7–1 dismantling of UConn on May 13, has launched the Huskies into our final Top 25.
Cam Maldonado has been the engine of this offense, slashing .379 with 13 homers and a .487 OBP. Alongside him, Harrison Feinberg (.372), Jack Goodman (.333), and Carmelo Musacchia (.305) have given the Huskies a deep, dangerous lineup.
On the mound, Max Gitlin (8–1, 2.49 ERA) and Jordan Gottesman (7–2, 2.58 ERA) have anchored a staff that doesn’t give much away.
This is a mid-major that looks built for a run. The CAA Tournament awaits—and Northeastern might be the most dangerous team no one wants to face.

7) Who's In? #24 Northeastern Huskies

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_23456812-2-scaled-e1747754175941-768x431.jpg

We’ll be the first to say it: we missed on Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles are absolutely for real.
At 41–13 overall and 24–6 in Sun Belt play, they just swept a Troy team that hadn’t dropped a single conference series all year. That’s how you make a statement.
Right-hander JB Middleton has been the ace this team needed, racking up 104 strikeouts across 91.1 innings with a 2.07 ERA. He’s firmly on the MLB Draft radar.
Offensively, this group mashes. The Golden Eagles are hitting .304 as a team, led by Nick Monistere (18 HR, 66 RBI), Jake Cook—an elite table-setter—and Matthew Russo (17 HR, 49 RBI).
Southern Miss is now in the hosting conversation heading into the Sun Belt Tournament. And if we get a Coastal Carolina vs. Southern Miss title game? Sign us up.

8) Who's In? #14 Southern Miss Golden Eagles

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_25489643-scaled-e1747754279633-768x432.jpg

TCU has found its stride down the stretch. Now 37–17 overall and 19–11 in Big 12 play, the Frogs picked up a gutsy extra-innings win over Utah to close out the regular season.
Chase Brunson came through with three hits, scoring the go-ahead run in the 11th. That kind of clutch hitting has been a theme for this group.
Cole Eaton (.375) and Sawyer Strosnider (.362) have led the charge at the plate, and the Horned Frogs now sit 17th in RPI with the 20th-toughest schedule in the country.
If they can string together a few more wins in the Big 12 Tournament, they’ll be right there in the mix for a regional host site.

9) Who's In? #21 TCU Horned Frogs

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_25944869-1-scaled-e1747752694533-768x432.jpg

Arizona Wildcats, Miami Hurricanes, NC State Wolfpack, Oklahoma Sooners, Texas A&amp;M Aggies, Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
Six teams dropped from our final Top 25 — some due to late-season collapses, others getting passed up by hotter teams. Let’s start with a few whose recent performances sealed their fate.
Texas A&amp;M brought plenty of promise during their mid-season SEC run, including a statement series win over LSU that launched them into our rankings. But the wheels completely fell off down the stretch. The Aggies were swept by a Missouri team that had been winless in SEC play before that series. They followed it up by losing to Georgia to close the year, and ended the regular season at 28–25. That Missouri series, especially the 10–1 finale, felt like the gut punch that knocked them out for good.
Arizona looked like a hosting contender heading into May, but a disastrous series loss to Utah changed the narrative. The Wildcats still boast a solid 36–18 record and an 18–12 mark in Big 12 play, but their late-season stumble cost them a spot in the Top 25. That said, we still believe in this group heading into the Big 12 Tournament — don’t be surprised if they make a run.
Miami didn’t collapse as dramatically as Arizona or A&amp;M, but it was enough of a slide to knock them out. After a red-hot stretch in the ACC that earned them a spot in our last update, the Hurricanes got swept by Virginia and then lost a series to Notre Dame. On the mound, ace Griffin Hugus told us recently that the team remains confident and united. The ‘Canes could absolutely bounce back in the ACC tourney — they’ve done it before.
NC State finds itself in a similar position. The Wolfpack re-entered the Top 25 after a sweep of Clemson, but a series loss to Stanford and two losses to Miami put them back on the bubble. They’re still a dangerous, young, and gritty group — not one anyone will want to face in Charlotte.
Oklahoma and Western Kentucky were squeezed out as stronger resumes emerged. The Sooners' inconsistency in Big 12 play ultimately hurt their case, while the Hilltoppers, despite a solid record, couldn’t hang on once Dallas Baptist surged and teams like Southern Miss and Northeastern caught fire.
