FSU moves up to two spots following rivalry week sweep

Florida State moved up two spots to No. 5 in the Baseball America poll, which was released on Monday morning.

FSU (30-5) shredded Florida to complete a season sweep and then took all three games from Miami despite being without two regular weekend starters. It's the first time since 1960 that FSU swept Miami.

Dick Howser Stadium hosted 19,157 fans for the FSU-Miami series, the largest three-game attendance in stadium history.

There is a new No. 1 in the BA poll: Texas A&M, which is coming off a sweep of Vanderbilt. Arkansas moved down to No. 2, followed by Tennessee and Clemson. The Seminoles are one of seven ranked ACC teams.

Moving two spots up proved to be a bit of a theme after the Seminoles' 4-0 week as Perfect Game moved FSU up from No. 8 to No. 6 this week behind Texas A&M, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oregon State and Clemson.

D1Baseball also moved FSU up two spots from No. 10 to No. 8 behind Texas A&M, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oregon State, Clemson and Duke.

FSU has moved up two spots to No. 7 in the coaches' poll. Texas A&M is also the top team by the coaches.

The Seminoles will play host to Mercer (18-16) on Tuesday at 6 p.m. (ACC Network Extra).

FSU travels to No. 14 Wake Forest for a three-game series beginning on Friday. The Demon Deacons took two of three games against Boston College over the weekend. Nick Kurtz had five home runs last week.
