Cal did enough this morning to virtually guarantee they win their first NCAA men’s team title since 2014. Cal picked up 21 points over their seeds in events this morning. Texas dropped 13 points. Adding the actual scores to this morning’s scored prelims and the psych sheet scoring of the 1650, Cal have a 553 to 448 advantage over Texas. 105 points is pretty much a lock.
If Cal DQ their 400 free relay, Texas win the relay, and Texas go 1-2 on the platform, Cal will still have a 20 point cushion. No team has gained 20 points over their seeds in a night session all week – the biggest pick up was Cal’s 19 on day 2.
The top 6 places in the team battle appear set at this point, so if you’re looking for exciting team action what should you look for tonight? The answer is the battle for the top 10. Currently, before diving 7 teams are within 16 points of Michigan, the projected 9th place team. Tennessee seem likely to jump into the 9th because of their diving strength, but the battle for 10th is wide open.
Michigan (projected total: 110), Missouri (109), and Virginia (105.5) will be in an every point counts contest tonight. A big breakout from Ohio St (97) Florida St (95), or Arizona (94) could vault them into the top 10 as well

Yo the first year I didn’t do pick ‘ems because of work… Cal is primed to win. The last 2 years I’ve picked Cal to win. This year I didn’t have time to pick (and would have still picked them)… they are primed for a win barring any disaster. I’m bummed. But happy for them.
this meet has been wildly entertaining, and some teams really brought their A+++ game. Cal: simply on fire, ‘Bama: relentlessly in the running, Florida: perseverance award, Indiana: amazing on relays- also relentlessly in the running, and Virginia: killing it under the radar…and any i may have forgotten…these schools just played the game right..that’s all there is to it
Big gap between the top 4 teams and the rest of the schools in the team totals.
Would it be a surprise if Louisville makes the top 5 this year?
Same in women’s meet. Top 4 untouchable
Oof tough to see teams like USC, Georgia, and Stanford barely cracking top 20
Swimswam, can you guys ban Coach M? He’s been trolling on every article and I think no one has any interest in reading his pointless (and weird) comments.
What happened to Auburn?
They had a few big transfers after the coaching changes last year, and there wasn’t a whole lot left in the cupboard. I’d give Gary some time to bring in his own recruiting classes.
If our MAN Vol Divers can keep buoying up the swim ship, we can actually finish 9th!!! Go Zipzeng, William and Mathew come on diver ONE MORE TIME we need help!!!
