Composite of 6 major national NCAA Division I baseball rankings

Each week, CollegeBaseballInsider.com posts a composite poll of five national NCAA Division I rankings. In the table below, I've added PerfectGame.org to the mix for a six-ranking composite.

Miami was named No. 1 in five of the six rankings after being a unanimous top choice last week. Florida got the other No. 1 nod and remained second overall. None of the other teams in the Top 25 remained where it was last week.

South Carolina fell three spots to ninth, while Coastal Carolina moved from a tie for 27th to 22nd. Clemson dropped from 21st to 28th.

There are eight SEC teams and six ACC teams in the Top 25.

   Poll key: NCBWA -- National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association; BBA -- Baseball America; USAT -- USA TODAY coaches; CB -- Collegiate Baseball; D1 -- D1Baseball.com; PG -- PerfectGame.org

   Points are awarded on a descending scale, from 25 points for a first-place vote to 1 for a 25th-place vote. Some polls ranked more than 25 teams, but I kept it at the top 25 for consistency's sake. In the event of ties, the points are divided evenly among the tied teams.
