The rankings are in and the LSU Tigers baseball team is now sitting pretty at the top. According to FOX 8 Live, following a successful weekend series win against Arkansas, LSU is now the No. 1 ranked team in the country as per D1 Baseball's latest figures; they boast a solid 40-12 overall record with a decent 17-10 in conference play.
Notably, the climb to rank numero uno was a collective leapfrog over some formidable baseball programs – Florida State, Texas, North Carolina, and Oregon were all surpassed by LSU's recent on-field exploits, based on the rankings highlighted by NOLA.com. Baseball America also reflects a similar sentiment with LSU topping Auburn, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida State in their poll rankings, a tough roster of competitors that makes LSU's ascent all the more impressive.
Their newly minted status will be tested soon enough, as the Tigers are set to begin a three-game series against South Carolina starting Thursday at 6 p.m. CT. This upcoming series has garnered attention not just for LSU's performance but also because the Thursday game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and televised by the SEC Network, WBRZ reports.
