LSU Baseball Rankings: Tigers free falling after 2nd straight series loss

LSU’s season started out like “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor, but in the past two weeks, baseball season has become more like “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac or “Free Fallin'” by Tom Petty.

The Tigers have now lost two-straight SEC series (at Auburn, vs. Mississippi State) and have now fallen from the No. 1 team in the country down to No. 5. As of now, the Tigers would still host a regional and a super regional, but one more series loss and LSU would possibly be traveling for a super.

Wake Forest has cemented itself as the No. 1 team in the country with Florida and Arkansas right behind it.

Here’s how the national rankings look heading into the final week of the regular season.
