Georgia falls out of USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll

The Georgia Bulldogs have dropped from the top-25 rankings after losing their most recent series at Mississippi State. Georgia received 45 votes in the April 8 edition of the USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll. The Bulldogs would be ranked No. 29 based on the number of votes they received.

Georgia baseball went 1-2 over the weekend in a controversial series against Mississippi State that featured multiple ejections. Star infielder/outfielder Charlie Condon continues to shine for Georgia. Condon has 20 home runs and 42 RBIs this season.

Georgia head coach Wes Johnson is off to a solid start in his first season with the Bulldogs. Georgia is 5-7 in SEC play and 24-8 on the season.

The SEC has five of the eight top teams in the country in Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas A&M. The SEC is looking like baseball’s strongest conference.

Arkansas remains the No. 1 team in the country. Georgia baseball’s next game is against Kennesaw State at Foley Field in Athens, Georgia, at 5:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 9. The Bulldogs play a series at home against Missouri from Thursday to Saturday.
