D1Baseball keeps Florida State baseball at same rank in updated poll
Seminoles secure third seed in conference playoffs after regular-season victory over Miami

Florida State baseball has retained its position at No. 11 in the latest D1Baseball national poll, a standing that follows the team’s successful conclusion of the regular season. The Seminoles clinched their series against the Miami Hurricanes, finalising their overall record at 38-16, including a 19-11 mark in Atlantic Coast Conference play. This performance secured the No. 3 seed for the upcoming ACC Tournament.

The national ranking places Florida State between Texas A&M, listed at No. 10 with a 39-13 record, and West Virginia at No. 12 with a 36-19 record. Within the ACC, Florida State is the third-highest ranked team in the poll, trailing only No. 2 North Carolina and No. 3 Georgia Tech. The conference currently features just three ranked teams in the updated standings.

Boston College experienced a drop in the rankings, falling from No. 23 to unranked status after being swept by Georgia Tech. In contrast, Florida State’s strong home record of 27-4 contributed significantly to their high seeding and national standing. The team now turns its attention to the postseason, beginning with the ACC Tournament before preparing for the NCAA Tournament regional round.

Florida State is scheduled to compete in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals on Friday at 7 p.m. ET. The opponent will be determined by the outcomes of first- and second-round games, with potential matchups against Wake Forest, Louisville, or Pittsburgh. The structure of the bracket ensures that Florida State will not face a ranked opponent in this quarterfinal round.

The D1Baseball Top 25 rankings, presented by NettingPros, reflect the current landscape of college baseball as teams prepare for the postseason. Florida State’s retention of the No. 11 spot highlights their consistency throughout the regular season and their positioning as a key contender in the conference tournament.
