Texas tightens grips on No. 1 in NFCA/GoRout DI Top 25 Coaches Poll
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – No. 1 Texas widened the gap between itself and No. 2 Oklahoma in this week’s 2025 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll. The Longhorns (34-3) won their Southeastern Conference series at new-No. 17 Mississippi State, while the Sooners (31-3) dropped two of three at home to new-No. 7 Tennessee in SEC action.
No. 13 Virginia Tech made the biggest move inside the top 25, elevating three spots after a three-game sweep of then-No. 13 Stanford. The Hokies (28-5) won three one-run contests against the Cardinal, holding off seventh-inning rallies in the first two games and seeing Cori McMillan walk it off for VT with a seventh-inning solo home run to complete the sweep.
Alabama makes a return to the rankings at No. 24 following a two-week absence. The Crimson Tide (25-13) went 3-1 last week, which included a SEC series win against then-No. 15 Georgia.
The 2025 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll is voted on by 31 NCAA Division I head coaches with one representing each of the NCAA’s Division I Conferences. Polls will be released Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. throughout the regular season. Records reflect games played through March 30, 2025.
