12. Missouri Tigers

Previous Ranking: 11

Dropping a spot to No. 12 this week is Missouri, as the Tigers concluded the regular season at 30-23 overall, as well as 10-20 in SEC play. The Tigers would simply struggle this past weekend on the road at Auburn, being swept by final scores of 4-0, 7-2, and 9-7.

Missouri now enters the SEC Tournament as the conference’s No. 12 seed, beginning play Tuesday night against Auburn.

11. Georgia Bulldogs

Previous Ranking: 13

One of the biggest risers this week was Georgia, as the Bulldogs jumped two spots to No. 11 after concluding the regular season at 29-26 overall, as well as 11-19 in SEC play. The Bulldogs would originally drop games one and two against LSU during the weekend, 8-5 and 8-4, respectively, but would go on to take game three by a final of 9-5, a result that snapped a five-game losing streak.

Georgia is now the No. 11 seed in the SEC Baseball Tournament, and will open play Tuesday against South Carolina.
