Well, there was at least some good news on Sunday for Tennessee athletics. The Base Vols, as usual, delivered that news with a 7-1 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks to secure a weekend sweep in Columbia. Tennessee won Friday 11-7 and delivered a late 7-5 win after Cannon Peebles blasted a ball over the wall in right center in the ninth inning on Saturday.
Tennessee improves to 26-2 on the season and 8-1 in SEC play, which has them in a tie with Georgia and Arkansas at the top of the SEC. The Vols also won their 12th straight SEC series going back to last season. A truly remarkable run.
Accordingly, without much surprise, Tennessee held the top spots in all of the polls on Monday morning.

D1Baseball Top 25 Rankings: Week Seven
(Presented by @NettingPros)@KStateBSB is one of three teams to enter the latest rankings, while @Vol_Baseball remains the No. 1 team. https://t.co/aMEN92pf8G— D1Baseball (@d1baseball) March 31, 2025
And in case you’re wondering how impressive it is to be at the top of the SEC right now, 8 of the current top 10 teams in the polls are in the SEC. Pretty remarkable stuff.
But you know who isn’t in the top 10? Preseason #1 Texas A&M. The Aggies fell to an incredible 1-8 in SEC play (13-14 overall) after dropping a home series against Kentucky with a 10-5 loss on Sunday in College Station. It’s hard to put into words what a disappointment they’ve been, and absent a huge turnaround quickly, it looks like a strong bet they’ll miss the NCAA tournament.
However, the Aggies will get their shot to start that turnaround on Friday evening in Knoxville, where they begin a weekend series with Tennessee. The Vols will look to extend their misery after taking on Tennessee Tech on Tuesday evening in Knoxville.
