Cal Men Overtake Indiana For CSCAA’s #1 Dual Meet Rank For Dec 6

Note: SwimSwam does not have a voting stake in the CSCAA Awards, which focus on dual meet viability. For rankings more geared towards NCAA prediction, stay tuned for our next round of Power Rankings, beginning next week.

After an impressive fall season capped by huge swims at the Georgia Invite, the California men are ranked #1 in the latest CSCAA (College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America) rankings released today.

The Cal men have the nation’s top time in 4 of 5 relays, missing only the 800 free where they are second to Texas. The Longhorns, meanwhile, overcame a lackluster fall that saw them drop to 9th in these ranks by jumping back to #2 after a home invite.

NC State is third and former #1 Indiana slides down to 4th in the most recent ranks.

Do the Power Rankings take into account the diving power too?

Are you asking about our SwimSwam Power Rankings, or the CSCAA Dual Meet Rankings?

Our SwimSwam Power Rankings do, in theory. Voters have been instructed to account for diving, though that’s very much a moving target at this point in the season since diving is more subjective.
