All for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/three-teams-set-challenge-mens-ncaa-championship\/\" target=\"_blank\">very good reasons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Texas won last year\u2019s championship by a whopping 190.5 points over Cal and lost the likes of sprinter John Murray and diver Cory Bowersox to graduation. That&#8217;s it. Returning are three individual event champions from 2016 (<strong>Joseph Schooling<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Townley Haas\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Will Licon<\/strong>), another from 2015 (<strong>Clark Smith<\/strong>)\u00a0and a man who broke an American record by more than a second in the 200 fly and still finished second (<strong>Jack Conger<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Cal, meanwhile, lost\u00a0<strong>Josh Prenot<\/strong> and <strong>Jacob<\/strong> <strong>Pebley<\/strong>, but backstroker-extraordinaire <strong>Ryan Murphy<\/strong> returns for one final go-round, and transfer <strong>Matt Josa<\/strong> and freshmen <strong>Michael Jensen<\/strong> and <strong>Pawel Sendyk<\/strong> have been huge boosts to the sprint corps so far this season.<\/p>\n<p>As for NC State, this team went to Austin for a November dual meet and demolished the Longhorns. Olympic gold medalist <strong>Ryan Held<\/strong> and <strong>Todd DeSorbo\u2019s<\/strong> re-loaded sprint group, along with distance man <strong>Anton Ipsen,<\/strong> will score big points in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, the love for these teams is very much deserved.<\/p>\n<p>But interestingly, none of these top-ranked teams teams hail from the conference that was hailed as the best in swimming\u00a0just a few years ago. While the Pac-12 might have stolen some of the sizzle, no conference has more depth than in the SEC.<\/p>\n<p>No stat is more telling than this one: of last year\u2019s top ten teams at the NCAA championships, six of them came from the SEC. Florida finished third, and Georgia also finished in the top-five. Alabama (sixth), Tennessee (seventh), Missouri (eighth) and Auburn (10th) all got into that mix as well.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with Florida, which brings back <strong>Caeleb<\/strong> <strong>Dressel<\/strong>. Pretty solid foundation, no? Plenty of fans will have their eyes\u00a0on the clock to see if Dressel can take his ridiculous sprint records (18.20 in the 50 free and 40.46 in the 100 free), but from a team standpoint, it\u2019d be a shocker to see anyone beat the junior in either event.<\/p>\n<p>Florida loses less than 50 points scored from last year\u2019s NCAAs and adds a freshman named <strong>Maxime<\/strong> <strong>Rooney<\/strong>, who has won a pair of U.S. National Championships in the 200 free. Rooney is a potential three-event scorer and a significant piece for relay depth.<\/p>\n<p>No, Florida has not swum particularly fast this year\u2014the Gators were ranked 10th in the latest CSCAA poll\u2014but Gregg Troy\u2019s teams always struggle in-season. Don\u2019t read too much into that\u2014the Gators are an improved squad from last year.<\/p>\n<p>In three SEC dual meets this season, Florida lost just once, to Georgia on Oct. 28. Well, the Bulldogs are pretty good, too. They return 165.5 to 239.5 points from last year\u2019s championships. They typically over-perform at NCAAs\u2014last season, Georgia scored 90 points higher than their psych sheet projections, the largest jump of any team.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia finished fifth at NCAAs, the program&#8217;s highest finish in years, and that was without <strong>Chase<\/strong> <strong>Kalisz<\/strong>, whose Olympic redshirt paid off with an Olympic silver medal. And the Kalisz that returns to UGA is far more versatile and stronger than the one that left almost two years ago. Like Florida, this team is better than last year\u2019s version.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the team that might be the hardest to peg: Auburn. The Tigers won five straight NCAA team titles from 2003 to 2007 and another in 2009 but have not made the top five since. A season ago, Auburn was projected to score 283 swimming points at NCAAs, the fifth-most of any team, but ended up with just 151. Adding in diving, the team finished with 167 for 10th place.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that most of the Tigers\u2019 heavy-hitters\u2014including\u00a0<strong>Joe<\/strong> <strong>Patching<\/strong>, <strong>Michael<\/strong> <strong>Duderstadt<\/strong> and <strong>Peter Holoda<\/strong>\u2014are back this season. Auburn made the jump up to sixth in the latest CSCAA poll, but this season will be judged on whether or not the pieces come together in March this time.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers\u2019 in-state rival Alabama loses sprinter <strong>Kristian Gkolomeev<\/strong> but return every other point from last year\u2019s national title-winning 200 medley relay and actually every other point scored from a sixth-place team in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Another set of Tigers, Missouri, look dangerous in the medley relays with defending 100 breast national champion <strong>Fabien<\/strong> <strong>Schwingenschlogl<\/strong>, sprinter <strong>Michael Chadwick<\/strong> and rising flyer <strong>Andrew<\/strong> <strong>Sansoucie<\/strong>. Missouri suffered only minimal losses to graduation after finishing eighth last year.<\/p>\n<p>And although Tennessee suffered some big losses after finishing seventh a season ago, specifically with <strong>Sean Lehane<\/strong> graduating, <strong>Sam McHugh<\/strong> could be a three-event scorer this year, and Peter Stevens remains a national-title contender in the 100 breast.<\/p>\n<p>So, yes, that\u2019s six teams with top-ten aspirations. Chances are, the SEC won\u2019t repeat that feat from a season ago, but no other conference even has a shot at this at the women\u2019s meet or the men\u2019s. (The closest possibility is the Pac-12 women, from which four teams could finish top-ten.)<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, the SEC men\u2019s meet should be the most-wide open and hotly-contested of any of the Power Five conference titles.<\/p>\n<p>But remember, these are not predictions. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/morning-splash-piecing-together-the-top-ten-at-womens-ncaa-championships\/\" target=\"_blank\">And neither was this.<\/a>)\u00a0There\u2019s still more than six weeks left to discuss what we actually think will happen in Indianapolis\u2014and believe me, we will!<\/p>\n<p>For right now, just remember that even though no team in the SEC is a sexy choice to win this year\u2019s national championship, the men\u2019s swimming in the conference is as competitive as ever.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dan D\u2019Addona and Price Fishback contributed analysis.
