With two more weeks of conference play, teams across college baseball are eager to make one last push before conference tournaments roll around and prove they're worthy of a spot in the NCAA tournament.

No new teams entered this week's top 25 for the second time in a row, but there was still plenty of movement. Kansas broke into the top 10 for the first time this season at No. 7 after another perfect 4-0 week, sweeping Arizona and beating Wichita State in a midweek game. Arkansas and Alabama were a couple other big risers this week, jumping up five spots each.

Oklahoma and Nebraska took big slides down the rankings, dropping nine spots to No. 24 and No. 25, respectively. UCLA remained on top with the rest of the top five holding steady, as well.

Here is the entire top 25 as of May 4, plus our favorite moments and what we're watching in the week to come.

This is exactly the type of play that gets us excited for regionals.

We're all in on the Jayhawks right now. They look pretty hard to beat.

He might just be the best Friday night starter in all of college baseball. Even though ESPN's Kiley McDaniel has him ranked behind fellow Longhorn Ruger Riojas in his 2026 college ace rankings , Volantis is really finding his groove when it matters most.

No. 13 Oregon at No. 1 UCLA

Game 1: 10 p.m. ET Friday

Game 2: 9:30 p.m. ET Saturday

Game 3: 3 p.m. ET Sunday

This could very well be a preview to the Big Ten tournament championship as the league's top squads will face off in Los Angeles. UCLA has held strong in every conference series, and the Bruins have only dropped four games all season long and have already wrapped up the regular-season title. Oregon, however, might pose the toughest challenge to the Bruins yet and get them ready for the postseason.
