Texas A&M has taken over the top spot in the SEC baseball power rankings after Week 11, marking a significant shift in the standings. South Carolina's series win against Kentucky has also impacted the rankings, with both Kentucky and LSU struggling.
SEC baseball power rankings after Week 11 as Texas A&M takes over top spot
Week 11 in SEC baseball brought a new leader in the SEC power rankings for the first time since conference play started as Texas A&M's surge carried the Aggies to the top spot.
Where the biggest shakeup came was at the bottom. South Carolina won a series against Kentucky, and the Wildcats and LSU are both seemingly in freefall.
Here's how the league shakes out:
Record: 33-8 (14-6 SEC)
Last week: 2
Up next: Auburn
The hottest team in the SEC, Texas A&M has won five straight series with the league's best offense in conference play. In SEC games, the Aggies have drawn 25 more walks than any other team despite playing one fewer game.
Record: 34-11 (15-6)
Last week: 3
Up next: Missouri
Georgia just keeps winning series thanks to a high-flying offense. Daniel Jackson is the focal point of the Bulldogs and is one of the SEC Player of the Year frontrunners â though Gavin Grahovac is giving him a run for his money.
Record: 32-9 (13-7)
Last week: 1
Up next: Mississippi State
Texas is a steady, high-floor team, but a relative lack of depth has made it difficult for the Longhorns to get sweeps, and they've subsequently fallen back in the SEC race.
Texas A&M's recent surge in performance during Week 11 led them to take over the top spot in the SEC baseball power rankings.
South Carolina's series win against Kentucky contributed to a shakeup in the rankings, impacting both Kentucky and LSU's positions.
Kentucky and LSU are currently struggling and are at the bottom of the SEC baseball power rankings.
The SEC baseball power rankings after Week 11 show Texas A&M at the top, with significant changes in the standings due to recent game outcomes.

Record: 30-13 (12-9)
Last week: 4
Up next: at Texas A&M
In SEC play, Auburn's pitching staff leads the conference in ERA and WHIP and has issued the fewest walks. That's given the Tigers a high floor, but an average offense could be a problem in the postseason.
Record: 34-10 (13-8)
Last week: 8
Up next: at Texas
Mississippi State got back on track with a sweep of LSU. Tomas Valincius has been the key; he has the lowest ERA of any starting pitcher in conference games.
Record: 31-14 (11-10)
Last week: 6
Up next: at Arkansas
Ole Miss was expected to be an offense-first team but it's instead been the pitching that has carried the Rebels through the SEC's most difficult schedule, especially the emergence of Cade Townsend and Walker Hooks.
Record: 29-16 (11-10)
Last week: 7
Up next: at Oklahoma
Florida had previously alternated series wins and losses each week, but the Gators lost two straight for the first time after dropping a home series to Texas A&M.
Record: 29-16 (11-10)
Last week: 9
Up next: Ole Miss
Arkansas' offense has struggled in SEC games and the pitching has been more good than great. The Razorbacks have been the epitome of a mid-tier team.
Record: 29-14 (11-10)
Last week: 10
Up next: Florida
Small ball has worked for Oklahoma, and third baseman Camden Johnson ranks second in RBIs during conference play.
Record: 29-16 (10-11)
Last week: 5
Up next: Vanderbilt
Alabama ranks 14th out of 16 teams in on-base plus slugging percentage in SEC play and has now lost three straight series.
Record: 29-15 (10-11)
Last week: 11
Up next: at Kentucky
Tennessee needed its series win over Alabama this weekend and now is tracking toward making the NCAA tournament, though hosting is very unlikely.
Record: 26-19 (10-11)
Last week: 12
Up next: at Alabama
Vanderbilt has lost two one-run games, a two-run game and a game that came down to the final pitch in its last three SEC weekends and may well come to rue all of those games getting away.
Record: 22-23 (7-14)
Last week: 15
Up next: at LSU
South Carolina is a respectable 7-10 in SEC play since firing Paul Mainieri, and the pitching in particular has given many teams fits.
Record: 27-15 (9-12)
Last week: 13
Up next: Tennessee
Kentucky has lost six straight SEC series after sweeping Alabama to open up conference play. That includes dropping series to LSU, South Carolina and Missouri, the only SEC team to lose series to more than one of the three.
Record: 24-21 (6-15)
Last week: 14
Up next: South Carolina
LSU has lost an unfathomable nine straight SEC games after getting swept by Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Mississippi State. The Tigers held leads in all three games against the Bulldogs.
Record: 21-23 (4-17)
Last week: 16
Up next: at Georgia
Missouri surpassed last season's SEC win total of three by winning the final game of its series against Arkansas, but the Tigers need two more wins to avoid having the second-worst SEC record ever against a 30-game schedule.
