Arizona State Men, Virginia Women are Undisputed #1

The Arizona State men & Virginia Women are the unanimous #1 teams in the February edition of the CSCAA Division I Top 25 Dual Meet Rankings.

The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) released the February Edition of the 2022-23 Division I Top 25 Dual Meet Ranks. The committee, comprised of Division I coaches and select media outlets, ranks the top 25 teams in the nation based on dual meet strength. The committee uses head-to-head results from the most recent segment of the season as the top consideration. Head-to-head results from prior segments of the season, common opponents and meet simulations are also considered when establishing monthly rankings. This poll does not predict top finishers in a championship meet format.

On the men's side, the Arizona State Sun Devils (450 points) took all of the #1 votes after their continued run of dominance in dual meets. California (422), Texas (415), NC State (394) and Florida (389) round out the top five. Of the top 25 teams, eighteen appeared on all ballots. A total of twenty-nine men’s teams earned at least one vote.

For the third time in a row, the top five teams on the women's poll remain the same. This time, however, Virginia (450 points) collected all of the first-place votes while Texas (432), Stanford (414), NC State (393) and Ohio State (381) remained in second, third, fourth and fifth, respectively. Of the top 25 teams, twenty-two teams appeared on all ballots. A total of twenty-six women's teams earned at least one vote.
