With the pre-selection psych sheets now live for the 2021 Men’s NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships, we can score out the individual swimming events.
The following projections are just that – projections. Every year, teams vary wildly from their psych sheets points to their actual scored points. Swimmers listed below will inevitably scratch, But these numbers at least give us a starting point for previewing the 2021 Men’s NCAA Championships.
Note: these projections do not include diving, where athletes will be selected via NCAA Zone meets later this month.

Diving is a very great part of this meet for TEXAS and for Tennessee, without diving the Vols would not be in the top 25.
We’ve made to NCAAs! Remember thinking it would just be a dual meet season?
It’s super cool to get to see all the team point projections play out here, and seeing which teams are built better for NCAAs or conference (star power or depth) by seeing teams that got beat by another team at conference outscoring the other team on the psych sheet.
With diving Texas wins by 50
100
People gone be mad when texas has 6 up 3 down on boards
Petition to remove all photos from the article so no swimmers get cursed 😉
Would be crazy to see Ohio State at 6th! Go bucks 🌰🔥
Only 1 point for midmajor’s wow this year’s been weird
There’s a lot of midmajor’s that had to pause their season, and are just picking it up now, planning to hold conference championships soon.
Watch out for Cole Crane of Texas this year and years to come. He has a nasty 2 fly and he seems to improve every time he races.I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets into the A final for the 2 fly and score some points in the 1 fly as well
Assuming he ends up on the Texas roster…
I think he’ll be right on the edge but I also said for years to come. He is especially talented at the 200 LCM fly and is one to look out for at trials.
Let’s go BEARS!!!!!!
