There are four weekends left in the 2026 college baseball season before the postseason begins. And with a lot on the line, there are plenty of major in-conference matchups to keep an eye on. Here’s our Week 11 preview.
ACC
North Carolina continues to march on towards the top spot in the conference. UNC defeated the Duke Blue Devils in the first game of their series 3-1, thanks to some spectacular pitching from Jason DeCaro. DeCaro struck out seven versus the Blue Devils en route to his seventh win of 2026.
That win pushed UNC to 16-6, half a game out of first in the conference. Georgia Tech is at home to play Wake Forest and Chris Levonas this coming weekend.
Surging Boston College is on the road against Notre Dame, while Florida State will face Stanford in Palo Alto.
Big 12
With roughly a month left, Kansas is atop the Big 12 baseball standings at 14-4. Will that last after this upcoming weekend? The Jayhawks face Kansas State in a major rivalry matchup.
West Virginia, two games out of the top spot in the standings, will go on the road to play Cincinnati. For the Mountaineers, it will not just be about making up those two games but also trying to find a groove after a 23-1 home loss to Pittsburgh this past week.
Arizona State, looking for a top-two spot in the conference, hosts Baylor.
Big 10
Sacramento State has authored several major upset wins this season. Can the school do it again this weekend against UCLA? It’s a reset weekend for the Bruins, the school that gets the nod to play a non-conference weekend series.
As for the notable in-conference matchups, USC (Purdue) and Oregon (Penn State) are both at home this weekend.
SEC
A lot of high-stakes games this weekend in the SEC.
Texas A&M is on the road against Florida, while Texas will be in Nashville to face the Commodores. And in Auburn, it’ll be aces wild between the Sooners and the Tigers. Andreas Alvarez, Jake Marchiano, and Alex Petrovic of Auburn will take on LJ Mercurius and Cameron Johnson of Oklahoma.
