18.\u00a0STANFORD<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>University,\u00a0Whittier College\u00a0and\u00a0Princeton University\u00a0maintain their Preseason and Week 1 No. 1 rankings as the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) releases the 2014 Men&#8217;s Varsity Week 2\/September 17 National Top 20, Division III Top 10 and CWPA Top 10 Polls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">In the National Top 20 rankings, the Cardinal of Stanford retains its position as the No. 1 team in the nation as the team picks up 97 points to edge out the University of California-Los Angeles (95 points) and the University of Southern California (93 points) to retain its position on top of the National stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">In the Division III ranks, Whittier remains a unanimous pick for the top position as the Poets picked up 100 points and expanded its lead to a titanic 13-points over\u00a0<strong>Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges<\/strong>\u00a0(87 points) and\u00a0<strong>Johns Hopkins University<\/strong>\u00a0(87 points).<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Similar to the National Top 20 and Division III Top 10 poll, the Preseason and Week 1 favorite in the CWPA Top 10 continues to dominate after two weekends of competition as Princeton retains its position as the unanimous top selection in the league poll.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Voted on by a panel of coaches from the CWPA, Western Water Polo Association (WWPA), Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the polls are compiled and released on Wednesday during each week of the season through the week following the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>2014 Men&#8217;s Varsity National Top 20 (Week 2)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>Stanford University<\/strong>, which ranked at No 1 in the Preseason and Week 1\/September 10 National Top 20 Polls, retains its top position on the National stage by a narrowing margin as the Cardinal pick up 97 weeks in Week 2\/September 17 voting to edge out the\u00a0<strong>University of California-Los Angeles<\/strong>\u00a0(95 points) and the\u00a0<strong>University of Southern California<\/strong>\u00a0(93 points).<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">The Cardinal, which finished third in the final 2014 Poll and garnered the No. 1 position for the first time in the Preseason Poll of August 27, leads a Top 10 which saw no movements among the Top Seven and a radical shift in the final three positions in the upper echelon of the rankings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Behind the Cardinal (Stanford), Bruins (UCLA) and Trojans (USC), the\u00a0<strong>University of California<\/strong>\u00a0(86 points),\u00a0<strong>Long Beach State University<\/strong>\u00a0(80 points), the\u00a0<strong>University of the Pacific<\/strong>\u00a0(74 points) and the\u00a0<strong>University of California-Santa Barbara<\/strong>\u00a0(70 points) hold firm at No. 4-to-7, respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">However, the final three spots in the Top 10 all exchange hands in the wake of\u00a0<strong>Princeton University<\/strong>\u00a0upsetting former No. 8\u00a0<strong>University of California-Irvine<\/strong>\u00a0at the\u00a0<strong>Brown University<\/strong>\u00a0Bruno Fall Classic over the weekend in Providence, R.I.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Due to the victory\/loss, the\u00a0<strong>University of California-San Diego<\/strong>\u00a0(62 points) and Princeton (62 points) rise to stand in a deadheat for the No. 8 position, while UC-Irvine (55 points) drops back to No. 10.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Irvine&#8217;s two-place descent drives former No. 10 the\u00a0<strong>University of California-Davis<\/strong>\u00a0(52 points) out of the Top 10 and back to No. 11.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Unlike the Top 10 in which seven teams held onto their positions from the Week 1 voting, the final 10 spots in the Top 20 all experienced changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>Loyola Marymount University<\/strong>\u00a0(45 points) leapfrogs\u00a0<strong>Pepperdine University<\/strong>\u00a0(36 points) to take over at No. 12, while\u00a0<strong>Santa Clara University<\/strong>\u00a0(28 points) and\u00a0<strong>Harvard University<\/strong>\u00a0(28 points) glide from No. 16 and 18(T), respectively, seven days ago to share the No 14 slot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">For the second week in a row the Bears of\u00a0<strong>Brown University<\/strong>\u00a0(21 points) and the Midshipmen of the\u00a0<strong>United States Naval Academy<\/strong>\u00a0(21 points) stand shoulder-to-shoulder as the teams, which were tied at No. 14 last week, fall two positions to rate as equals at No. 16 on September 17.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>George Washington University<\/strong>\u00a0(14 points) reverses the pattern of Brown and Navy by ascending two spots to No. 18, with the\u00a0<strong>United States Air Force Academy<\/strong>\u00a0(9 points) breaking free to stand alone at No. 19.\u00a0<strong>Whittier College<\/strong>\u00a0(8 points) and\u00a0<strong>Concordia University<\/strong>\u00a0(8 points) complete the Top 20 by sharing the final berth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>St. Francis College Brooklyn<\/strong>\u00a0(5 points),\u00a0<strong>California Baptist University<\/strong>\u00a0(4 points),\u00a0<strong>Bucknell University<\/strong>\u00a0(1 point) and\u00a0<strong>Fordham University<\/strong>\u00a0(1 point) also received votes.<\/p>\n<table style=\"color: #222222;\" border=\"1\" width=\"585\" cellspacing=\"0\"
