College Baseball Poll Watching Week 14: Wake Forest Stays On Top

The regular season of the Big 12 ended with a log jam, with Texas, West Virginia, and Oklahoma State all claiming a share of the conference title. Last week, West Virginia and Oklahoma State were both ranked in all four polls, with Texas receiving votes in one. This week, after securing the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 tournament, Texas also is back as a ranked team in this week's polls.
Nationally, Wake Forest is once again the top choice in all four polls monitored by KillerFrogs. The order may vary between polls, but the rest of the top five consists of Florida, Stanford, Arkansas, and LSU.
Here is where the Big 12 teams stand in the Week 14 polls:
- Oklahoma State (37-16, 15-9 Big 12) - #18 (D1Baseball), #12 (Baseball America), #14 (Collegiate Baseball), #182 (USA Today Coaches Poll)
- Texas (38-18, 15-9 Big 12) - #20 (D1Baseball), #13 (Baseball America), #13 (Collegiate Baseball), #22 (USA Today Coaches Poll)
- West Virginia (39-16, 15-9 Big 12) - #21 (D1Baseball), #14 (Baseball America), #18 (Collegiate Baseball), #17 (USA Today Coaches Poll)
In addition to the University of Texas, Dallas Baptist is the only other ranked team from Texas.
