FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas baseball is still in a prime position to be a national seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament despite a series loss to No. 1 LSU last weekend.
The No. 5 Razorbacks (41-11) have hosted a regional in six of the last seven seasons and look poised to have more postseason action in Fayetteville later this year. Arkansas is No. 5 in the RPI and hasn’t been ranked outside of the top five of USA TODAY’s Baseball Coaches Poll all season. The Hogs will face No. 14 Tennessee (39-13) this weekend to close out the regular season.
The NCAA Tournament begins May 30 with the College World Series scheduled to end June 23. Below is a look at where the Razorbacks stand in three postseason projections.
