LUBBOCK, Texas ¨C The Tennessee Volunteers continue to pace the field in the 2022 college baseball season and show no signs of weakness after a three-game sweep of Missouri, which helps the Vols strengthen their hold on the No. 1 spot in the National College Baseball Hall of Fame Power Poll for the third straight week.

Tennessee secured all six first-place votes in this week¡¯s poll to remain the unanimous No. 1 team in the country. With series losses by Virginia and Arkansas and a Big 12 series sweep of Kansas State, Texas Tech vaults into the No. 2 position while perhaps the hottest team in the country outside of Tennessee, the Miami Hurricanes, surge 11 spots into the top 5, coming in at No. 3 after a weekend ACC sweep of previous No. 2 Virginia.

Another red-hot team at the moment is the Oregon State. Seeking their first national championship since 2018, the Beavers leaped eight spots to No. 4 in this week¡¯s poll. Arkansas, which fell twice in an SEC series at Florida, rounds out the top 5.

Two schools make their debut in this week¡¯s poll. Wake Forest makes its first entry into the poll at No. 24 coming off a weekend sweep of Duke in ACC play, while Southern Mississippi checks in at No. 25 after a weekend Conference USA sweep of Charlotte.

North Carolina and Texas State exit this week¡¯s poll.

Dropped out: North Carolina, Texas State
Also receiving votes: North Carolina, Texas State, Connecticut, UC-Santa Barbara, Alabama, Grand Canyon, Oklahoma, Maryland
