The Week 11 baseball polls came out on Monday, and once again, the Texas A&M Aggies (35-5) are the unanimous top seed across the five national polls.

In fact, the Top Ten this week remains mainly unchanged, at least in terms of teams. Yes, there was some switching of places, and a couple of teams dropped slightly lower than the Top Ten. But for the most part, the Top Ten comprises four to five SEC teams (Texas A&M, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt), three to four ACC teams (Clemson, Duke, Florida State, and Wake Forest), plus East Carolina and Oregon State.

The Big 12 continues to struggle with having more than two or three ranked teams. This week Oklahoma and Oklahoma State appear in all five polls. West Virginia appears in one. Texas, Texas Tech and UCF also receive votes in at least one poll.
