Virginia Women And Arizona State Men Lead CSCAA Dual Meet Polls Heading Into Conferences

The Virginia women and Arizona State men were both ranked #1 in the CSCAA February dual meet polls. Both teams opened the year leading the polls as well.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Women’s Rankings

The top three teams remained the same with Virginia, Texas, and Florida leading the way. The USC women moved up from 7th to 4th after notably defeating Stanford for the first time in 28 years this past weekend. The USC women now sit just above Stanford.

Indiana also moved up three spots in the top 10 and is coming off of a win over Louisville who is ranked #9. The 10-16 ranked teams remained the same while the rest of the rankings saw some shake-up. Alabama and North Carolina both moved ahead of Duke as the Blue Devils now sit at #19.

Ohio State and Louisville each moved ahead of Virginia Tech as the Hokies fell from #13 to #15.

Harvard joined the rankings and now sit at #22 after previously being unranked. This is Harvard’s first time in the rankings all season as they are coming off of wins over #25 Princeton and Yale.

Eddie is hurting his own legacy man. Texas in 9th! Move on and let someone else take over instead of playing this game trying to get Wyatt the job while more top recruits go elsewhere due to the uncertainty.

Swimming fans aren’t like Stephan A and Skip. We are more rational and don’t get caught up in 1-2 ‘average’ years. Eddie is still one of, if not, the best coach of all time. One year isn’t changing that or how any rational fan views him.

True, his personal legacy and coaching resume is second to none. I should have said he’s hurting Texas.

Seems as though Texas’ demise for this year is more related to things like Johnston training this Olympic year with The Swim Team(Schubert), and sitting out NCAA, and Carson turning pro, rather than anything negative done by Eddie. I’m suspecting Eddie will get big time performance from Modglin.

I believe that UT’s current ranking of 9th in the CSCAA duel meet poll doesn’t diminish Eddie’s legacy, nor would a potential deviation from their typical top 5 finish at NCAA’s. Eddie’s enduring legacy lies in his consistent production of elite swimmers and successful adults. While it would be wonderful to see him conclude his career on a high note, any outcomes this year won’t tarnish the lasting impact he’s made in the sport.

Horns fans will downvote you but you do have a point.

When was the last time Texas A&M was ranked ahead of Texas on the men’s side? I know these polls don’t mean much but wow….

Also, what are we hearing about Eddie’s replacement?

Interesting to see ASU and UVA have pretty much the same rankings for both of their teams just flipped for gender
