The 2025 college baseball campaign is officially in the books following the completion of the College World Series on Sunday, in which the LSU Tigers prevailed over the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in two games.
Following the official end of the season, the final edition of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll was released, with those two teams at the top of the rankings in their respective spots. But one may ask, “Where did the Florida Gators finish?”
Just to recap, Kevin O’Sullivan’s squad, which endured a rollercoaster ride of both success and futility this past spring, finished the campaign with a 39-22 overall record and an even 15-15 mark in Southeastern Conference play. They made it just two games deep into the SEC Tournament, getting knocked out by the Ole Miss Rebels in the second round before losing two of three — both to the East Carolina Pirates — in the Conway Regional, marking the end of this year’s run.
As a result, the Orange and Blue finished just outside of the Coaches Poll top 25 with a de facto No. 26 ranking thanks to 85 votes. The conference had eight member schools among the top 25 and four others, including Florida, that earned votes.
Take a look at the full final rankings below.
