The Rally Cap crew whips around the country to show off the wildest games and antics from the wide world of baseball. (2:21)
Between multiple players having games with three home runs and a total of 40 runs in just one game -- yes, you read that right -- college baseball brought some firepower over the past week, but the latest top 25 rankings don't look all too different with just one new team that has been added to the mix.
Though UCLA had a midweek slip-up against UC Santa Barbara, the Bruins rallied against Minnesota and swept the Golden Gophers and still hold the top spot. North Carolina now follows the Bruins at No. 2 -- its highest ranking yet this season -- after it won two games over Georgia Tech. But the Yellow Jackets only moved down one spot to No. 3 after that hard-fought series.
Elsewhere, USC had looked really strong the entire season until just this past week, when it dropped all four of its games. As a result, the Trojans fell 11 spots to No. 23. After losing a home series to Cincinnati, UCF fell out of the rankings completely, paving the way for Nebraska (which swept the Trojans) to reenter.
Here is the entire top 25 as of April 20, plus our favorite moments and what we're watching in the week to come.
26-14. And no, that is not a football score. That's the score of the Georgia-Arkansas game. The Bulldogs hit nine home runs in this outing, three of which came from Daniel Jackson.

SEC Network's David Dellucci breaks down Jackson's swing and explains how he can hit the ball out of the park no matter where the ball is pitched.
There's a new home run leader in the country. Davis' bat has been red-hot, and he hit five home runs this past weekend, including a three-homer outing Friday night. He's batting .389/.478/.911 and has 73 RBIs, too. He's the real deal, so pay attention to Louisville down the stretch.

No. 5 Georgia vs. No 3 Georgia Tech 7p.m. on Tuesday (Truist Park, Atlanta)
There's a whole lot of Georgia this week, and for good reason, but the Bulldogs will certainly be tested again as we have our attention turned to Georgia Tech-Georgia, a must-watch top-five game. Can the Bulldogs keep their bats hot after a blistering performance against Arkansas? Or will Drew Burress and the Yellow Jackets rally after dropping two games to North Carolina?
