There is one more weekend series in the 2026 regular season for the No. 5 Texas Longhorns baseball team. UT will host Missouri for three games in Austin at at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The SEC Postseason Tournament will happen the next weekend, then the NCAA Tournament bracket will be announced. What seed will Texas get?
Texas has been No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll for over a month. But a dropped series at unranked Tennessee this past weekend sent UT down a spot to No. 5.
Whether or not Texas will make the tournament isn’t a question. And it is clear the Longhorns will host a regional in Austin. But coach Jim Schlossnagle will want Texas to keep pushing in the next two weeks to secure a top eight national seed, which means not only hosting a regional, but also the all important super regional.
Right now, USA TODAY Sports is projected that Texas will get the No. 5 overall national seed. The forecast goes on to fill out the potential Austin regional, which would include Virginia, Michigan and Wright State.
There’s a lot of baseball to be played in the next couple weeks. But the Longhorns are in a good spot as the season winds down into the stretch run.
