Texas A&amp;M is slated to play Virginia Tech, Arizona State and UCLA, which ranks No. 2 in the coaches poll. <\/p>\n<p>One of the massive bright spots for the Aggies in the series against the Quakers was the sharp outings from the bullpen. Texas A&amp;M did not allow a single walk all weekend, while Aiden Sims&#8217; career day sparked a 7-1 game-three victory in Bryan-College Station on Sunday. The extra-innings fiasco in Game 2 highlighted some weaknesses in the Aggies&#8217; plate approach, but the pitching staff performed lights-out to keep their team at the plate.<\/p>\n<p>Nico Partida sparked Texas A&amp;M&#8217;s hitting frenzy on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with two RBI, including his third home run of the season. An all-around clean performance allowed the Aggies to break out the brooms and keep momentum high entering the week.<\/p>\n<p>Here is USA TODAY&#8217;s full rankings after the second week of college baseball:<\/p>\n<p>1LSU     8-0     733     14     1     &#8211;     1\/12UCLA     6-1     723     15     2     &#8211;     2\/23Texas     7-0     666     0     3     &#8211;     3\/34Georgia Tech     8-0     623     0     4     &#8211;     4\/45Mississippi State     8-0     612     1     6     +1     5\/66Arkansas     6-1     591     0      5     -1     5\/67Auburn     6-1     512     0     9     +2     7\/98North Carolina     6-1     507     0     8     &#8211;     8\/89Georgia     6-1     454     0      13     +4     9\/1310Florida     7-1     449     0     16     +6     10\/1611Clemson     7-0     377     0     17     +6     11\/1712Southern Miss     6-1     348     0     20     +8     12\/2013Coastal Carolina     5-2     334     0     7     -6     7\/1314Oklahoma     7-0     324     0     NR     +16     14\/NR15North Carolina State     5-1     284     0     19     +4     15\/1916Miami     9-0     263     0     21     +5     16\/2117Florida State     4-2     262     0     14     -3     14\/1718Oregon State     4-3     225     0     12     -6     12\/1819Tennessee     5-2     196     0     15     -4     15\/1920Wake Forest     6-1     169     0     25     +5     20\/2521Ole Miss     8-0     161     0     NR     +6     21\/NR22Vanderbilt     6-2     124     0     18     -4     18\/2222Texas A&amp;M     7-0     124     0     NR     +7     22\/NR24Oregon     8-0     123     0     23     -1     23\/2425TCU     2-5     114     0     10     -15     10\/25<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"presto-h4 wp-block-heading\">Schools Dropped Out<\/h4>\n<p>No. 11 Louisville;\u00a0No. 22 Virginia;\u00a0No. 24 Arizona<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"presto-h4 wp-block-heading\">Others Receiving Votes<\/h4>\n<p>Virginia 99;\u00a0West Virginia 72;\u00a0Kentucky 55;\u00a0Louisville 48;\u00a0Arizona State 48;\u00a0USC 32;\u00a0Alabama 29;\u00a0UTSA 22;\u00a0Nebraska 14;\u00a0UC Santa Barbara 9;\u00a0Kansas State 7;\u00a0Michigan 6;\u00a0Kent State 3;\u00a0Kansas 3;\u00a0Cal Poly 2;\u00a0Oklahoma State 1;\u00a0Louisiana Tech 1;\u00a0California Baptist 1<\/p>\n<p><em>Contact\/Follow us\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aggieswire\"><em>@AggiesWire<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0on X\u00a0(formerly Twitter) and like our page on\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AggiesWire\/\"><em>Facebook<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&amp;M news, notes and opinions.\u00a0Follow Dylan on X:\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CameronOhnysty\"><em>@<\/em><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dylanmflippo\"><em>dylanmflippo<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on Aggies Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/aggieswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/college\/aggies\/baseball\/2026\/02\/23\/texas-aggies-baseball-usa-today-sports-baseball-coaches-poll\/88827090007\/\">Texas A&amp;M cracks top 25 in USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/texas-m-ranked-usa-today-184734478.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/texas-m-ranked-usa-today-184734478.html<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After sweeping Penn at Blue Bell Park over the weekend, Texas A&amp;M baseball is ranked in the USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll top 25&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1164411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1164411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164411\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1164411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1164411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1164411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
