Collegiate Baseball released its weekly rankings Monday, and the 30-3 UL Ragin' Cajuns are back in the No. 1 spot. For the first time in the history of the program, the Cajuns were elevated to No. 1 two weeks but fell a notch last week.

The return to the top spot comes on the heels of the Cajuns' three-game Sun Belt Conference sweep of Troy over the weekend.

The Cajuns were elevated a position on Baseball America's and Perfect Game's rankings, moving from No. 4 to No. 3 on both.

The USA Today Coaches Poll moved the Cajuns up two positions, from fifth to third, and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll (which had the Cajuns at No. 4) had not been updated when this story was posted.

Warren Nolan's Rating Percentage Index has the Cajuns at  No. 6, as does Boyd's World.

The Cajuns host UNO Tuesday at 6 p.m., are on the road against McNeese Wednesday and return home for an SBC series against Arkansas-Little Rock starting Friday. View the schedule here.
