It is invitational week in college swimming.<\/p>\n
More than a dozen invitationals will take place across the country in NCAA Division I pools.<\/p>\n
Some have been highly anticipated and others could be surprising. This is usually the week where a couple of teams have a breakout and make a statement.<\/p>\n
Who will it be this week?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the marquee invitationals.<\/p>\n
Georgia Tech will host an invitational this week with many of the southern powers. Alabama, Auburn and South Carolina are scheduled to compete.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a little further west, Texas A&M will host an invite that includes SEC foes LSU and Arkansas as well as the Stanford and ASU women out of the Pac-12.<\/p>\n
Purdue will host its Early Bird Invitational and that will include teams like Indiana, Florida and Virginia Tech.<\/p>\n
The Missouri invite will be this week as well, with regional teams such as Illinois in attendance.<\/p>\n
Houston will host an invite that includes Vanderbilt.<\/p>\n
The University of Texas host their diving invitational, with fellow Big 12\u00a0teams like TCU joining the action in Austin.<\/p>\n
Those all start on Thursday.<\/p>\n
On Friday, more will join the mix. Northwestern will host its TYR Invitational that will include Big Ten opponent Michigan State.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Ohio State will host an invite with teams like NC State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Kentucky, Pittsburgh and Washington State.<\/p>\n
Rutgers will also be hosting an invite this week, as will Louisville.<\/p>\n
West Virginia will send their swimmers to the Ohio State Invitational while the Mountaineer divers head to\u00a0Rutgers.<\/p>\n
The University of Kansas will\u00a0travel to the Kansas Classic with Big 12 rival Iowa State also competing.<\/p>\n
On the West Coast, Cal will face Nevada in the only Pac-12 non-invitational action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
