College Baseball Rankings: No.1 UCLA vs Miss State Set For Top-5 Showdown
No. 1 UCLA faces No. 4 Mississippi State at the College Baseball Series after the latest D1Baseball rankings shakeup.

The No. 1 team and the No. 4 team in the country will meet at 3:30 p.m. ET on March 1 at Globe Life Field, according to the latest D1Baseball rankings following the second week of Division I baseball action.
UCLA retained the No. 1 spot in the rankings and moved to 6-1 on the year. Any nervousness around the favorites to win the Big Ten might have been quashed when they swept TCU in Los Angeles with 10-2, 5-1 and 15-5 wins.
