The Texas Longhorn men’s swimming and diving team kicked off its 2015-16 in a strong way with wins against Florida and Indiana, which put the squad atop the CSCAA/TYR Men’s Division I Top 25 rankings.
The first poll of the 2015-16 season by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America has Texas on top with California close behind. Florida, Georgia and NC State round out the top five.
The CSCAA DI Poll Committee will produce in-season rankings of the 25 best performing NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving teams in rank order at the time of each poll. The poll is not designed to predict the results of the NCAA Championship, but rather which teams would win head-to-head against other teams in the country. Rankings are based on performances that have taken place since the previous poll and include invites as well as dual meets. The committee does not consider teams that have not yet competed in the current college season.
