The latest 2011 college baseball polls are out over at Baseball America, and once again, the state of Texas is well represented as four Texas based schools are ranked in the top 25.
The Texas A&M Aggies are the top ranked Texas team, coming in at No. 6 in the latest poll. The Aggies hold the same ranking they did last week after going 3-1 last week. The Aggies will look to improve on their 29-11 record this week.
The Longhorns are ranked seventh this week, and again, like the Aggies, hold the same ranking they did last week. Texas went 3-1 last week to improve to 30-10 on the season.
Despite a perfect 4-0 week, TCU remained No. 11. The Horned Frogs have to be concerned about prized lefty Matt Purke and his ailing shoulder as he's likely the key to any playoff run for TCU, but even with the bad news on Purke, the Horned Frogs managed to go 4-0 last week.
Lastly, the Rice Owls, despite a 2-2 week, hung onto a spot in the top 25, falling from No. 22 to No. 25. Stanford, Troy and Connecticut all passed the Owls in this week's rankings.
Complete rankings, courtesy Baseball America, are after the jump.
