College Baseball Poll Watching Week 4: TCU Slides In Polls

TCU had a tough week last week, going 2-2. The Frogs lost the midweek game to UT-Arlington on Tuesday, then lost 14-2 to San Diego on Friday night. The Frogs bounced back to win Saturday and Sunday to win the series.
TCU is now 9-6 on the season and begins Big 12 conference play against last year's national runner-up Oklahoma on the road. In this week's polls, TCU slid down in all four of the polls monitored here. D1 Baseball dropped the Frogs down one spot to No. 11. Baseball America dropped them three spots to No. 13. TCU dropped out of Collegiate Baseball's Top 30, after being No. 23 last week. And in the USA Today Coaches Poll, TCU is No. 18, down two spots from last week.
LSU is still the top in all the polls. Most of the remaining Top 10 teams in all four polls are mostly SEC or ACC teams, with a a few exceptions in there such as Stanford. Other Big 12 schools in the polls include Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, though like TCU, their rankings fluctuate between the polls.
Here are the highlights from D1Baseball, Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, and the USA Today Coaches Poll:
