Texas A&M baseball moving up RPI after historic sweep of LSU
Texas A&M baseball is rising in the RPI, following the club's historic sweep of LSU over the weekend.
After securing the program's first sweep on the road against the LSU Tigers since 1978, Texas A&M baseball's RPI is on the rise. In the latest college baseball RPI ranking, which is the mathematical formula used by the NCAA based on wins, losses and strength of schedule, the Aggies are at No. 8.
The Aggies have wins over three teams in the top 25 of the RPI, including a series victory over the Texas Longhorns in the Lone Star Showdown. With a 12-5 record in conference play, Texas A&M is in second place in the current SEC standings, behind the Georgia Bulldogs (13-5). Here is where the current RPI stands: UCLA Bruins (36-3) Texas Longhorns (30-8) Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (32-7) Alabama Crimson Tide (28-13) Auburn Tigers (27-12) Ole Miss Rebels (29-12) North Carolina Tarheels (33-7) Texas A&M Aggies (31-7) Florida Gators (28-13) Florida State Seminoles (28-11) Oregon State Beavers (30-8) Southern Miss Golden Eagles (28-12) Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (28-11) Nebraska Cornhuskers (31-9) USC Trojans (30-11) Missouri State Bears (26-11) Oklahoma Sooners (27-12) Mississippi State Bulldogs (30-10) Virginia Cavaliers (28-13) Georgia Bulldogs (32-9) Cincinnati Bearcats (27-15) Kansas Jayhawks (29-11) Liberty Flames (28-11) Boston College Eagles (31-12) Wake Forest Demon Deacons (27-14) This season has marked an impressive turnaround for second-year head coach Michael Earley, following a 2025 campaign that ended without a postseason appearance.
The Aggies failed to reach expectations from being selected as the unanimous No. 1 team in college baseball during the preseason, but this year has been a completely different story. Even with hard-hitting bats like Jace LaViolette, Kaeden Kent and Wyatt Hensler departing for the MLB Draft last summer, Earley's lineup has improved into one of the most explosive groups of hitters in baseball.
The Aggies are ranked third in the league with a . 312 batting average and 80 home runs so far this season. There is still much baseball left on the schedule, including four series against teams currently inside the top 25 of the RPI.
