College Baseball Poll Watching Week 12: Whoop! Aggies Remain Top Ranked Program

For the third straight week, the Texas A&M Aggies (38-6) sit atop all five national college baseball polls. In fact, for the first time in many weeks, the Week 12 polls are identical for the top four spots - A&M followed by Arkansas (37-7), Tennessee (37-7), and Clemson (34-9).

The SEC and ACC dominate, once again, the Top Ten. The remainder of the Top Ten consists of a mix of ten teams, depending on which poll you look at - Duke (30-14), East Carolina (35-8), Florida State (34-9), Kentucky (33-9), Oregon State (33-10), North Carolina (33-11), UC Irvine (32-8), Vanderbilt (31-13), Virginia (33-12), and Wake Forest (27-16).

The Big 12's woes continue to be reflected in the rankings. Only Oklahoma (26-16) and Oklahoma State (30-14) are ranked in all the polls. West Virginia (26-16)is ranked in one and receives votes in two others. Four other schools - Kansas (25-15), Kansas State (26-17), B (27-18), and Texas Tech (29-17)- are receiving votes in at least one poll.
