March Madness may be over for college basketball, but the chaos of the college baseball season is just beginning.
Week 8 of the 2026 season brought much-anticipated chaos and potential changes in the major polls.

No. 2 Texas, No. 6 Florida State, No. 8 Mississippi State, No. 9 Alabama, No. 16 Central Florida and No. 17 Nebraska were among the top 25 teams this week to post losing records. The Bulldogs lost their home series to rival Florida, which will also impact both programs in the rankings.
