The Cards made a statement by sweeping Clemson, their first series win over a top-25 RPI opponent.
It was a rocky week for top teams, with four of last week's top 25 losing series.
Mississippi State, fresh off an eye-opening series win over then-No. 1 Florida, went and got swept by Texas A&M, which surges back up to No. 3. Florida State got pummeled by Florida in a midweek game, then dropped two of three to Wake Forest, the first series loss of the season for the Canes. Rounding it off, Oregon State dropped a couple of games to Washington State and South Carolina went down to lowly Georgia.
