Atlantic Coast Conference winner North Carolina now occupies the No. 2 position while No. 4 Texas and No. 5 Arkansas have been ranked as high as No. 1 in this topsy-turvy 2025 season.
Some of the other big movers from week 15 to week 16 were Coastal Carolina from No. 12 to 10, Southern Miss from No. 18 to 13, SEC runner-up Ole Miss from receiving votes to No. 17, Florida from No. 19 to 15 and Big 12 postseason champ Arizona from receiving votes to No. 24, among others.
All 16 NCAA Regional hosts denoted for 2025 are members of the NCBWA DI Top 25 this week.
There have been 10 conferences and independents (nine this week) represented in the first 15 standings of 2025, and there were 12 different conferences appearing in the 2024 NCBWA polls.
The NCBWA Division I poll will be compiled again on Tuesday, June 3, for the next-to-last ballot prior to the conclusion of the NCAA World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, on June 22 or 23 and the final Top 25 survey.
