12. Missouri Tigers

Previous Ranking: 14

The first SEC baseball team to rise this week is Missouri up two spots to No. 12, as the Tigers now sit at 27-20 overall, as well as 7-17 in conference play. After beginning the week Tuesday with a 9-7 win over Kansas, the Tigers would go on to take games one and two over Ole Miss during the weekend, 11-9 and 13-3, respectively, as well as drop game three, 20-14.

Missouri will now return to action this weekend at home for a three-game series against Georgia.

11. Georgia Bulldogs

Previous Ranking: 11

Next up, there were multiple SEC baseball teams who had big weeks, but did not move, but that was certainly no fault of their own, the first of which is Georgia (27-21 overall, 10-14 in SEC) at No. 11. The Bulldogs would originally begin the week with a 10-9 win over Kennesaw State, and would go on to drop game one to Tennessee, 12-3, but would bounce back in a big way in games two and three with wins of 3-1 and 9-4, respectively.

Georgia is now set to return to action Wednesday night at home against SC Upstate. The Bulldogs will then travel to Missouri this weekend in SEC baseball action.
