Composite of 6 major NCAA Division I rankings, April 3

Each week during the regular season, 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.

Oregon State remained No. 1 in the rankings for the second straight week. The Beavers are No. 1 in all six rankings. No. 2 Louisville and No. 3 TCU held those spots in all six rankings.

Clemson is No. 4 (up from fifth last week) and South Carolina is No. 9 (down from sixth) this week.

There are six ACC teams and six SEC teams in the composite Top 25 ranking. The +/- represents rise or fall from last week's composite rankings.

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.
