29-6 and still unranked? The D1 voters were sleeping on Ole Miss baseball as they left them out in the cold in their latest Top 25 rankings.
The Diamond Rebs are coming off one of the finest opening weekends with a clean sweep over Nevada, and yet they were nowhere to be spotted in the post-opening weekend Top 25.
Ole Miss going unranked is straight-up preposterous
Understandably, UCLA, LSU, and Texas came in at Top 3, followed by Mississippi State and Georgia Tech.

Props to LSU for their historic 49 strikeouts in program history since 1992, but UCLA actually dropped their series finale 8-7 to UC San Diego, and still got strapped in at No. 1.
While Ole Miss, with an elite +23 run differential over three games and 35 strikeouts to just 4 earned runs, was gravely overlooked.
Even No. 3 Texas had +20 differential runs, still three short of Ole Miss's.
The strength of schedule and playing against ranked opponents obviously did its part, but this is Top 3 teams were talking about.
Ole Miss wasn't coming anywhere near it in this ranking, but they deserved a rank somewhere in the Top 25 for absolutely run-ruling the quality Wolfpack lineup this weekend.
Perhaps, the Rebs are still paying the stability tax, as the voters wait to see if Mike Bianco's squad has truly improved before giving them a seat at the table.
Another point to note is that this is just D1 baseball rankings talking.
Baseball America actually has the Rebels ranked at No. 16 in its updated Top 25 following their 3-0 report card.
Another win, and the Rebels would surely be a lock for the D1 Top 25, if not the Top 20.
