PHOENIX, Arizona, March 5. WITH the conference championship season winding down, it is time for the final College Swim Coaches Association of America NCAA Men's Division I Swimming and Diving Rankings release. Voting took place prior to the bulk of the conference meets this weekend, and only reflects performances that took place during the regular season. Michigan jumped back into the top spot, while previous No. 1 Texas fell a spot. <\/p>\n
The goal of the CSCAA rankings committee this year was to produce an in-season poll of the 25 best performing teams in rank order at the time of each poll. The poll was 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.<\/p>\n
Specifically, the poll committee did not differentiate between the types of meets, or the status of a specific team in terms of rested vs. unrested, when considering votes. Further, rankings were only based on performances that took place up to that point in the season, with an emphasis on action from the previous poll.<\/p>\n
Notably, Swimming World<\/i> was invited as a media member as part of the polling process, and had a vote in each poll. Jason Marsteller served as Swimming World's representative on these calls.<\/p>\n

\n1st, Southeastern Conference Championships<\/p>\n
While the performances don't count as part of this regular season poll, the past week certainly proved to be exciting for the Florida Gators as they put an end to Auburn's Southeastern Conference title streak at 16. The Gators piled up 1408 points at the 2013 edition of the SEC championships, hosted on the campus of Texas A&M University. The win gave Florida its 34th SEC men's team title, but last won the crown in 1993. Marcin Cieslak led the way for the Gators with a butterfly sweep.<\/p>\n
“It's great for the guys,” head coach Gregg Troy said. “We have been chasing Auburn and nipping at their heels every year and we've been close a couple of them. I think this kind of takes us over the top from the standpoint that it gets the monkey off our back. It's a good building point towards the NCAA meet and it's not an end in itself but it certainly is a good conference win.”<\/p>\n

Stanford fell to .500 in Pacific 12 Conference action with its first loss to California since 2005. David Nolan and Kristian Ipsen performance well against the Golden Bears in the loss with each earning a pair of victories. Nolan won the 100 back (47.68) and 100 breast (54.05) as he continues to demonstrate that he's one of the most versatile swimmers in the country. Ipsen swept the diving events against an outmanned California diving squad. Stanford is now focused on winning its 32nd consecutive Pacific 12 Conference title this week. However, Auburn's loss at SEC has to be weighing on the minds of the Cardinal nation. <\/p>\n

The Auburn Tigers witnessed their 16-year win streak at the SEC Championships come to an end at the hands of the Florida Gators. Auburn did, however, put up a fight to take second with 1196 points. The 16-year win streak had stood as the third-longest streak of SEC championships in any sport in conference history, behind Florida's volleyball skein of 18 straight titles (1991-2008) and Arkansas' men's cross country 17-straight victories (1991-2007). Marcelo Chierighini earned SEC Men's Swimmer of the Year, having swept the sprint freestyle events. Kyle Owens also finished second in Commissioner's Trophy balloting.<\/p>\n
“Marcelo is just in another league right now,” head coach Brett Hawke said. “He won that (100 free) by a full body length. That's just unheard of; we haven't seen that since Cesar (Cielo). He's swimming outstandingly, and we're hopeful he'll swim faster at NCAAs. And Kyle, just an amazing performance from him. He won the 100 and 200 (back), was third in the 200 IM, and won all the relays he's been on. He's had an outstanding meet and led this team by example.”<\/p>\n
