This past weekend gave us Players' Weekend in Major League Baseball, but it also gave us something else we hadn’t seen since 2018: regular-season college football. There were only two games (an ugly Florida-Miami game and a wild Arizona-Hawaii one) but it was a reminder that not even the most baseball-centric sports fan could ignore: College football is back.

Thursday kicks off the official Week 1 of the college football season, and you know that MLB clubhouses will be tuning in to all of the action. So, to prepare you for all the teammate-friendly wagers that’ll happen over the next couple of months, today we look at the current AP Top 25 in college football and at the best alums of each school who are currently in the Majors. (We’re going with the players having the best current season, not necessarily the best careers.) In those rare instances where there are no current players from a school, we’ll pick the best player of all time from that school. This is the season for school spirit. Let MLB be a part of the party.

(A brief shoutout here to the A’s Tanner Roark, the only player from my alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, currently in Major League Baseball. The Illini aren’t in the top 25, but I had to give Roark some love. Lovie Smith will return us to glory!)

1. Clemson Tigers: Tony Sipp, Nationals. With Steven Duggar and Brad Miller on the disabled list, Sipp (who was actually an outfielder in college) waves the flag for the defending champs. The Cardinals’ Dominic Leone is a Tiger as well.

2. Alabama Crimson Tide: Spencer Turnbull, Tigers. David Robertson is the best Tide alum of recent years, but he’s out for the season. So, the surprising Tigers rookie gets the nod.

3. Georgia Bulldogs: Alex Wood, Reds. Gordon Beckham, one of the great Bulldogs players of all time during his tenure in Athens, has ended up making a decade-long MLB career for himself.

4. Oklahoma Sooners: Chase Anderson, Brewers. Jon Gray is probably the best former Sooners pitchers in the Majors, but he’s out for the rest of the season.

5. Ohio State Buckeyes: JB Shuck, Pirates. Remember: It’s THE now-demoted-to-Triple-A-Indianapolis first baseman. (If you must pick an all-time Buckeye player, since Shuck and Travis Lakins are in the Minors, the pick is the great Frank Howard.)

6. LSU Tigers: Alex Bregman, Astros. The Tigers are absolutely stacked with MLB players right now, from Bregman to DJ LeMahieu to Aaron Nola.

7. Michigan Wolverines: Rich Hill, Dodgers. He did not attend Michigan at the same time as the Fab Five: It just seems like he’s that old.

8. Florida Gators: Pete Alonso, Mets. He was a two-time All-American in Gainesville and holds a smattering of school records. He was mashing for the Gators the last time the Mets were in the postseason.

9. Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Trey Mancini, Orioles. Apologies to Jeff Samardzija, who of course not only played baseball for the Irish … he played wide receiver.

10. Texas Longhorns: Brandon Belt, Giants. Belt actually named his son after legendary late Longhorns coach Augie Garrido.

11. Oregon Ducks: Tyler Anderson, Rockies. Like fellow Duck teammate Ryon Healy, he’s out for the season.

12. Texas A&M Aggies: Michael Wacha, Cardinals. Wacha pitched for the Aggies just two years before he won the MVP of the 2013 National League Championship Series.

13. Washington Huskies: Adam Cimber, Indians. The sidewinding reliever certainly has the hair and the unconventional throwing motion that makes you think he spent college in the Pacific Northwest.

14. Utah Utes: C.J. Cron, Twins. Cron is the only Ute in the Majors right now. He has been an underappreciated hitter, essentially his entire career.

15. Penn State Nittany Lions: None. There hasn’t been a Nittany Lion in the Majors since David Aardsma retired in 2015. The best all time has to be Mike Scioscia, though alum John Ward, who played from 1878-94, is in the Hall of Fame.

16. Auburn Tigers: Josh Donaldson, Braves. He’s finally playing baseball in the South again, though the last time he was down there full-time, he was a catcher.

17. Central Florida Golden Knights: Dylan Moore, Mariners. Moore is one of seven UCF alums to play in the Majors this year.

18. Michigan State Spartans: None. The Spartans haven’t had a big leaguer since A.J. Achter, who last pitched in 2016, but they have quite a history, with Steve Garvey, Mark Mulder, Mike Marshall, Robin Roberts and of course, Kirk Gibson.

19. Wisconsin Badgers: None. The Big Ten really isn’t holding up well on this list. It has been nearly 15 years since a Badger made the big leagues (Paul Quantrill), but the most Wisconsin MLB figure ever (other than Bud Selig, obviously) was Harvey Kuenn, who is a Badger alum and the last manager to get the Brewers to the World Series.

20. Iowa Hawkeyes: None. Another Big Ten shutout. Definitely slim pickings for the Hawkeyes, and their best big leaguer ever is probably former Rangers catcher Jim Sundberg.

21. Iowa State Cyclones: None. It might just be the state. The best player to come out of Ames of all time is probably … longtime LOOGY specialist Mike Myers?

22. Syracuse Orange: None. Somehow, there hasn’t been a player from Syracuse make the Majors this century: The most recent one was Pirates outfielder Will Pennyfeather, whose last season was 1994. The best Syracuse grad in the Majors ever is probably former Phillies reliever Jim Konstanty.

23. Washington State Cougars: Adam Conley, Marlins. That 6.41 ERA he’s sporting through Monday is not going to keep him around the Majors much longer. John Olerud and Ron Cey he isn’t.

24. Nebraska Cornhuskers: Alex Gordon, Royals. He’s always been a perfect fit for the Royals; Lincoln is just a three-hour drive away.

25. Stanford Cardinal: Stephen Piscotty, A’s. It is guaranteed that if you are a baseball player who went to Stanford, every broadcaster will constantly talk about how smart you are.
