Southern Miss started its season with a sweep of then-No. 12 Mississippi State.
The top 11 teams remained the same in the D1Baseball Top 25 rankings after the first week of action, led by No. 1 Florida. Those 11 teams went a combined 33-2 during opening weekend; the only losses were taken by No. 6 North Carolina and No. 7 TCU, which both won road series against regional-caliber opponents.
Stanford, Vanderbilt and Louisville moved up one spot apiece to Nos. 12, 13 and 14, respectively. The Cardinal and Commodores were the only ranked teams to win Week One series against other Top 25 foes: Stanford swept rival Cal State Fullerton (which dropped from No. 17 to No. 22), and Vanderbilt took two of three from then-No. 25 Duke (which fell out of the rankings).
