After tying for first place in the initial baseball composite media rankings, Lake Travis (Austin, Texas) claimed the top spot for itself in the most recent composite rankings.

The Cavaliers secured three No. 1 rankings in six of the ranking services and was ranked no lower than No. 7. Calvary Christian (Clearwater, Fla.), which was tied with Lake Travis at No. 1, dropped to No. 5 after the addition of the MaxPreps Computer rankings to this week's composite rankings. Calvary Christian is not ranked in computer rankings, but is ranked No. 1 by Perfect Game and is no lower than No. 5 in any other ranking service.

Other teams with No. 1 rankings include Sam Houston (Lake Charles, La.) by the MaxPreps Computer rankings, and Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks, Calif.) by Baseball America.

Six schools are ranked by all six services, including Lake Travis, Calvary Christian Academy, Notre Dame, Sam Houston, Valley Christian (San Jose, Calif.) and Huntington Beach (Calif.)

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.
