Coppell's first loss of the season created major waves in the third round of the media composite baseball rankings.

While the Cowboys still hold on to first place, they are ranked No. 1 in only two polls, compared to five in the last release. One of those polls, Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, came out with its latest rankings prior to Coppell's loss to Trinity (Euless, Texas) last week. Baseball America also had Coppell No. 1.

Other No. 1 teams include Lake Travis (Austin, Texas) by the MaxPreps Xcellent 50, Buchanan (Clovis, Calif.) by the MaxPreps Computer Rankings, Deer Park (Texas) by USA Today and the USA Today Computer Rankings, and Stoneman Douglas (Parkland, Fla.) by Perfect Game.

Media outlets used in the compilation include Perfect Game, Baseball America, USA Today, the USA Today computer rankings and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. All of the rankings were released at varying times during the week, except for Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, which released its last rankings on April 12.
