10. Georgia Bulldogs

Previous Ranking: 12

The first of multiple teams to rise at-least two spots this week is Georgia, with the Bulldogs now sitting at 23-17 overall, as well as 7-11 in SEC play. As to why Georgia rose, the Bulldogs had one of the most impressive weeks of any SEC baseball team, beginning with a 5-4 win on the road at Clemson on Tuesday, and was followed by a sweep of Arkansas at home by final scores of 6-5, 7-3, and 9-8.

Georgia will now return to action Tuesday night at home against Georgia State. The Bulldogs will also travel to Ole Miss this weekend.

9. Kentucky Wildcats

Previous Ranking: 7

Dropping two spots to No. 9 this week is Kentucky, as the Wildcats now sit at 30-9 overall, as well as 11-7 in SEC play. After beginning the week with a 13-2 win over Xavier on Tuesday, Kentucky would drop games one and two at home to Texas A&M during the weekend by final scores of 6-3 and 8-7, but would also win game three by a final of 8-1.

The Wildcats now have a tough week ahead, one that begins Tuesday night with a ranked in-state rivalry matchup against Louisville. Kentucky will then travel to Vanderbilt this weekend.
