Video: Top 10 Plays of the Week // Week 10
Steve Montoya and Chris Stonebraker look back at the best of the best from the past week.

The first baseball composite media rankings find two teams tied for the No. 1 spot in the Top 25 national rankings.

Calvary Christian (Clearwater, Fla.) is not ranked No. 1 by any of the five media polls surveyed in the composite rankings, but it was ranked no lower than No. 6 and is ranked No. 2 by MaxPreps and Perfect Game.

Lake Travis (Austin, Texas), meanwhile, is ranked No. 1 by MaxPreps and USA Today and No. 2 by Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, but is ranked No. 11 by Perfect Game. The two teams are tied with 17 points in MaxPreps' composite media poll ranking system and an average of 2.43 overall ranking.

The three other No. 1 teams fill in spots Nos. 3 to 5. American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.) is No. 1 by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, while Calvary Christian Academy (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) is the top team by Perfect Game and Notre Dame(Sherman Oaks, Calif.) is No 1 by Baseball America. The top four teams were the only squads selected in all five polls.

Teams are given points that correspond to their ranking in each poll. Teams that were not ranked in a certain poll were given 40 points. Teams were then ranked by the lowest average across the five polls.

MaxPreps, USA Today, Baseball America and Perfect Game all released polls this week while Collegiate Baseball American released its most recent rankings March 12.

MaxPreps had the most teams in the composite rankings at 19, while USA Today had 17, Perfect Game and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper each had 15 and Perfect Game had 14.
