Projecting The Cutline: 2022 Men’s NCAA Division I Championships

Comments: 59

2022 Men’s NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships

A big thank you to Andrew Mering for running the numbers.

Upon the NCAA’s release of the pre-selection psych sheets for the Division I Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships earlier today, SwimSwam has now run the numbers to project where the cutline will be for the meet and who will earn an official invite on Wednesday.

This year the cutline is projected to fall midway through the 31 line on the psych sheet, compared to last year’s that came three swimmers into line 32. For a full explanation on what that means exactly click here (also see the selection process below).

As always, our projections are unofficial. The NCAA will release their official psych sheet with the cut list tomorrow.

Selection process

1. 35 of the men’s spots and 41 of the women’s spots are set aside for divers, who qualify for the meet at zone competitions closer the NCAA Championships. That leaves 235 men’s spots and 281 for the women.

2. Every “A” cut put up this season is added.

3. The next fastest swimmers in each event are added until every event has the same number of entries. For example, if the 50 free were to have the most “A” cuts of any event with 10, then every other event would get swimmers with the top 10 fastest times in.

4. Finally, one entry is added to each event to keep the entries per event even. This process is repeated until all of the swimming spots (235 for men, 281 for women) are filled. Keep in mind that as more rows are added, swimmers will start to double and triple up. The #1 seed in the 200 back might be the #15 seed in the 100 back – as the 15th row of swimmers is added to each event, she’ll be added to the 100 back list, but won’t take up another one of the 281 invite spots, as she already has her official invite.

5. The final row of swimmers added won’t come out exactly even. In the final row, the swimmers with entry times closest to the NCAA A cut will get added first, and when the 235th man or 281st woman is added, the process stops. So the 100 fly could have 38 women and the 200 fly 39 women – that would mean the 39th 200 flyer was closer to the NCAA A cut than the 39th 100 flyer and therefore won the ‘tie-breaker’ for the final spot.

2022 Cut Line Projections

Projected Alternates

With the projected cutline falling midway through line 31, the NCAA tiebreaker procedure comes into play to determine who is selected. The NCAA uses a simple formula to determine how close the swimmer is to the NCAA A cut to break ties, a change that was made three years ago. The mathematical formula is the A cut divided by the swimmer’s time, with the highest percentage (or closest relative time to the A cut) winning the tiebreak.

The first projected alternate is currently Harvard’s Jake Johnson.

Qualifiers By School

The University of Texas leads the way with 19 swimmers qualified for the meet, which is more than they’re allowed to bring (18 is the maximum). Texas will have to declare their 18 swimmers for the meet by noon ET on Tuesday, and then the selection procedure will be run again without the swimmer they’ve dropped (so Harvard’s Johnson isn’t a lock to be invited).

If we find out officially who Texas won’t take to the meet, we’ll re-run the numbers and update accordingly.

Cal and NC State both have 18 qualified, followed by Florida with 15 and ASU with 12.

Anyone know what happened to Jay Baker at UNC? He was their best swimmer last fall, or close to it. Easily their #1 2021 recruit and local kid.

As it stands, he has been dropped from the roster.

With platform to go, UF already has two divers qualified for NCAAs.

Nominees for craziest cut time?
I think 1:33.0 in the 200 free. 20 years ago, that would be a US Open Record. In the last decade, that would probably make A final as often as not.

With 19 qualifiers that means that roughly 45% of the Texas roster made NC’s as they have a roster of 40 swimmers.
Curious if there are any teams that have over 50% of their roster make NC’s or historically what is the highest percentage?

Probably not

The guys that Texas will leave at home wouldn’t go to other schools and be any faster so they would forfeit the experience of swimming for Texas to go get one swim at NCAA’s at still likely not score?

There always the possibility that being at the highly competitive environment like Texas provides has made them faster than they would be other places, which is the only reason Texas is in this position to begin with

Or maybe these guys have multiple reasons for going to Texas, reasons which might go beyond just swimming

these are part facts, part assumptions, which is fair but I know an example where someone would get better training for his event at a different school and a sure spot on the team, no exhibition swim. Good to have options…

On the contrary, as someone who teaches high school seniors who are swimmers, it makes them all the determined to GO to Texas.

Wow. The cut times are insane. Does this mean Dean Farris is NOT in the 50 Free with a 19.3? Or does he get to compete in that given his other qualifying times?

He can swim it since he has the 50 free B cut, and qualified in other events

Once you’re invited, you can swim any event in which you have at least a “B” cut.
