Camden Wicker and the UCF Knights are ranked No. 17 this week. Taylin Long \/ UCF Athletics<\/p>\n
April 6, 2026Updated 10:52 am EDT<\/p>\n
There was a minor shakeup in the top 10, with Georgia jumping from No. 6 to No. 4 after its impressive sweep at Mississippi State, and the Bulldogs (from Starkville) falling from No. 4 to No. 7. Alabama also climbed into the top 10 (to No. 9) after taking two of three at Oklahoma. The Crimson Tide are 8-4 in the SEC and have won three straight series after getting swept by Kentucky to open league play.<\/p>\n
There are two new teams in the ranking, headlined by UCF, which is No. 17 after winning a series at West Virginia. The Knights are 10-2 in the Big 12 and alone in first place. Kansas, which has won six straight, enters at No. 24. Oregon, which lost two of three at Michigan, and Kentucky, which lost a series at home to Missouri, dropped out.<\/p>\n
