Now that the 2023 NCAA Championships are officially wrapped up in Knoxville, Tennessee, check out which teams outperformed and underperformed expectations the most this week.
Virginia created the most points not accounted for on the psych sheet, followed by Indiana and Wisconsin. Relay DQs hurt NC State, LSU, and Alabama, the latter two of which came on the final night of racing.
The chart below shows daily scores from swimming only, and in the “+/-” column, how many points (more, or less) those scored varied from the projections. We have added all the diving points in a separate column, as the divers were not pre-seeded prior to the start of the meet.

wow Michigan really fell off. what a shame
Michigan, Bama, and NCS flop (shocker lol), IU and Wisconsin overperformed the most.
We already knew UVA was going to overperform due to underseeding
As someone said commenting on another article, the very top teams and swimmers don’t necessarily have to rest to make the meet, so their gains are artificially inflated. Defending champ Alex Walsh for example, was not seeded to score in the 200 fly. That shows up as a huge gain here, but really it’s not. Also, a mild illness or slight bobble in the morning by a single swimmer can have a huge negative impact on this – think Huske last year in 100 free and Jacoby in 200 breast this year. This data is very much inherently flawed.
Agree with the underseeding issue for Walsh in the 200 fly, but when swimmers like Huske or Jacoby don’t get it done in prelims, that’s on them and should be reflected as part of their teams’ performance.
Michigan and Bama swam awful. IU was stellar.
Nice to see Tennesse breaking tradition! Really solid performance from them, and it bodes well for Crooks and the rest of the men’s team next week.
Also happily surprised to see Florida holding seed. I wasn’t expecting them to improve from seed this year because of how hard they went at SECs. But nice to see them hold seed even with a relay DQ. Their non-freestyle swimmers in particular overperformed, especially Nina Kucheran
Nina is a blood traitor going from Florida State to Florida
Wuffies -52 below seed. Woof.
And Tejas swam slightly worse each day
The relay DQ didn’t help for sure!
What relay did they DQ? Meet mobile never showed a DQ
2 free relay
What was the reason for the DQ?
