Florida (35-18, 13-14 SEC) has won five straight series, including against a top-five Arkansas last month, and has all but locked up a 17th straight NCAA Tournament bid. Before heading to Austin, the Gators were projected to be a No. 3 regional seed by D1Baseball.com. They were No. 13 in the RPI Monday and close at home against Alabama.

Texas baseball is no longer the No. 1 team in the country. The Longhorns lost their second successive SEC series over the weekend, dropping two out of three games at home to Florida. As a result, they relinquished their grip on the top spot in the polls.

Florida baseball won its fifth straight SEC series in a row this weekend, taking two of three from the Texas Longhorns in Austin.
