Unlike its counterparts in football and basketball, college baseball does not have a universally accepted top 25 like the AP Poll. Instead, there are six major polls that schools and publications reference on various occasions, which can create confusion among fans.
To help with that, HawgBeat - the Arkansas site in the Rivals network - will create a single poll that combines the rankings by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, D1Baseball, Perfect Game, the NCBWA and the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Giving 25 points to the No. 1 team in each poll, 24 points to No. 2, all the way down to 1 point to No. 25, the teams with the 25 highest point totals are listed below, with the "receiving votes" section including each team that was in the top 25 of at least one poll but not within the highest 25.
The "high/low" column features each team's highest and lowest ranking of the week, while the "change" column indicates how much movement each team had from the previous week's rankings.
April 6 Poll Notes
~For the second straight week, Vanderbilt is the No. 1 team in the Composite, as it took the top spot in all but one major poll. Baseball America still has Arkansas - which is No. 2 in every other poll - as its No. 1 team.
~The SEC owns five of the top six spots - with Texas from the Big 12 being the exception. All seven top-25 teams from the conference are among the top 12.
~That is tied with the ACC for the most ranked teams in any conference. The SEC and ACC are followed by the Big 12 (4), Pac-12 (4), AAC (1), Big Ten (1) and C-USA (1).
~TCU made the biggest movement up the poll, jumping seven spots to No. 8 after pulling off a road sweep at Oklahoma. On the flip side, UCLA fell nine spots into a tie for No. 19 after losing a home series against Washington.
~Dropped out: Indiana (24)
~Moved in: Pitt
