MaxPreps national regional baseball computer rankings

By Kevin Askeland Apr 27, 2015, 11:58pm

Punxsutawney, Oxford are new No. 1 teams, while the Midwest Region sees upheaval.


Only two No. 1 teams changed in this week's MaxPreps Regional Baseball Computer Rankings, as Punxsutawney (Pa.) took over the top spot in the Northeast and Oxford (Miss.) moved into the No. 1 spot in the South.

The other No. 1 teams include Hamilton (Chandler, Ariz.) in the Southwest, JSerra Catholic (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) in the West and Archbishop Moeller (Cincinnati) in the Midwest.

The ratings are based on the MaxPreps Computer Rankings, which are posted twice a week.

The five regions include the West (California, Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado), Midwest (North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, Kansas), Southwest (Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico), South (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland), and Northeast (Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, District of Columbia, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine).

Teams are listed with their record (some records may be incomplete) with the computer rating.
