The 2025 college baseball season is just around the corner with games starting on Feb. 14, and with that, it’s time to start getting excited about what’s in store.
Can Tennessee, the 2024 national champion, become just the seventh team to repeat in Omaha? The last time a team went back-to-back was in 2010-11 when the South Carolina Gamecocks did it. Entering the year, the Volunteers rank at No. 4. But what about the team they beat in that final series?
After leading Texas A&M to the championship series against Tennessee, Jim Schlossnagle is now in Austin coaching the Texas Longhorns. But with Jace LaViolette in the fold, the Aggies won’t be missing a beat. They’re at the top of the preseason rankings with the Longhorns coming in at No. 19. And while those two squads won’t face off until late April, their progression will be as interesting as ever.
As we gear up for everything else college baseball, here’s what you need to know to stay up to date, plus the complete preseason ranking.
