LUBBOCK, Texas – The National College Baseball Hall of Fame Power Poll has a new No. 1 team for the third time in as many weeks as the Vanderbilt Commodores ascend to the peak for the Week 5 poll.

Fresh off a three-game sweep of Missouri in the Southeastern Conference lid-lifter for both teams, Vanderbilt received five of the possible six first place votes – the other first-place vote went to the Commodores’ in-state rival, the Tennessee Volunteers, who swept South Carolina to open SEC play. The Vols move into the No. 2 spot just six points behind Vanderbilt.

Preseason No. 1 Texas remains third while last week’s No. 1, Ole Miss, falls to No. 4 after a 2-2 week that saw the Rebels take two of three from Auburn. Virginia, which demolished Boston College in a three-game ACC set over the weekend to finish 5-0 on the week, is fifth.

Four new teams make their debut in the Power Poll this week. Old Dominion out of Conference USA checks in at No. 21 after a sweep of Middle Tennessee and a win over East Carolina. Texas State moves into the poll at No. 22 following a sweep of Arkansas State. Louisville, which took down previous No. 7 Notre Dame with a three-game ACC sweep and a 5-0 week, checks in at No. 23, while Maryland re-enters the poll at No. 24 after blasting Siena in three games.

Defending national champion Mississippi State along with Liberty, North Carolina State and Clemson all dropped out of the poll.

Dropped out: Mississippi State, Liberty, North Carolina State, Clemson
Also receiving votes: Gonzaga, Liberty, Miami, Oregon, North Carolina State, Connecticut, Texas A&M, Clemson.
