				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- I got these buttons from simplesharebuttons.com --><div id="ssba"><a href="http://www.simplesharebuttons.com" target="_blank" class="ssba_tooptip" id="ssba_tooptip""><span>www.simplesharebuttons.com</span> </div><p>TUCSON, Ariz. — Louisiana St. (43-16) has been ranked No. 1 in the latest <em>Collegiate Baseball </em>newspaper NCAA Division I baseball poll.</p>
<p>In one of the craziest weeks in poll history, none of the top six teams from last week escaped with a winning record as each team posted at least two losses.</p>
<p>Oregon, previously ranked No. 1 after winning 14 of its previous 15 games, was swept in a 3-game series at Oregon St. and slipped to 10th this week. The Ducks finished third in the Pac-12 Conference with a 19-11 record after entering last week at the top of the league with a one game lead.</p>
<p>LSU moved up to No. 1 despite posting a 1-2 record in the Southeastern Conference tournament. The Tigers won the regular season SEC title with a 19-11 record.</p>
<p><strong>Poll Notes: </strong>Several teams have been red-hot. Kent St. has won 17 in a row, New Mexico nine straight while Oregon St. has captured seven of its last eight. Four teams fell out of the top 30 this week in Texas (0-2 last week), Louisville (1-2), Texas Christian (1-2) and Utah Valley (4-0).</p>
<p>New to the poll this week is New Mexico (captured the Mountain West Tournament with a 4-0 record), Vanderbilt (one of the hottest teams in the nation with nine wins in its last 10 games), St. John&#8217;s (won the Big East Tournament with four straight wins) and Georgia Tech. (36-24, won ACC Tournament as the eighth seed).</p>
<p>Three teams barely missed being ranked in Utah Valley (47-12, won 40 of last 41 games), Stony Brook (46-11, won 22 of its last 23), and Pepperdine (34-21, won West Coast Conference title after beating San Diego two of three at home).</p>
<p>The Road To Omaha leads to TD Ameritrade Park and <strong><a href="http://www.dugouthats.com/">The Dugout</a></strong> – located right across the street from TDA’s home plate entrance. <strong><a href="http://www.dugouthats.com/">The Dugout</a></strong> has a ton of authentic college baseball caps – just like the ones the players wear on the field.</p>
<p>If you’re going to Omaha for the College World Series make sure to make your first stop <strong><a href="http://www.dugouthats.com/">The Dugout</a></strong> for all officially licensed CWS apparel.
