Here are my Week 11 college baseball Power 10 rankings as we head down the final stretch of the regular season.
1. Texas A&M (Previous: 1)
The Aggies are definitely looking like the top team in the country; their depth has been so impressive. Texas A&M trailed by nine runs in the first inning of their second game against Georgia this weekend, then poured on 19 runs to match its biggest comeback in program history. It was nuts.

The Razorbacks won their series against Florida this weekend. On Friday night, Hagen Smith tallied 11 strikeouts over a season-long seven innings of work.
Eight strikeouts. 14 in a row retired.

3. Tennessee (3)
Tennessee swept Missouri to stay at No. 3. Next up is a Tuesday matchup against Lipscomb and a weekend series at Florida.
4. Clemson (5)
Clemson moves up to No. 4 despite a 15-inning mid-week loss to Georgia. The Tigers got a series win over the weekend vs. Louisville and move up as Kentucky falls down.
5. East Carolina (6)
ECU moves up a spot as well, cracking the top five for the first time this season. The Pirates had a dominant outing on Friday night where Trey Yesavage came within one out of a no-hitter, while the offense put up double-digit runs in a run rule win.
Trey Day did not disappoint!

6. Florida State (9)
Florida State makes a three-spot jump to No. 6 after taking two in a top-10 series against Duke.
7. Kentucky (4)
Kentucky plummets to No. 7 after dropping the series to South Carolina over the weekend. But this team still remains tied for first place in the SEC with a one-game lead over Tennessee. The Wildcats will host the team they're tied with in the conference — Arkansas — this week.
8. Oregon State (10)
The Beavers won a series over Oregon this weekend and play the Ducks again on Tuesday for good measure.
9. Duke (7)
Nos. 9 and 10 were the toughest to choose. Duke just lost a series to Florida State, but I am keeping the Blue Devils in at No. 9. They responded after dropping the first two games of the series with an offensive explosion on Sunday for a run-rule win. Duke was fueled by a 10-run second inning and a 4-for-4 day from Logan Bravo.
10. UC Irvine (NR)
And finally at No. 10... I almost put Virginia here, but I'm throwing in UC Irvine after a really great season so far. The offense put up double-digit runs in three straight games in a sweep this past weekend. Virginia is my first team out.
