November 14, 2025 – The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has released the November edition of the Division II Top 25 dual meet poll, with the Drury men and Nova Southeastern women claiming the top spots in this month’s poll.
The committee, made up of Division II coaches, evaluates and ranks the nation’s top 25 dual meet teams based on several factors. These include head-to-head dual meet results, performances since the last rankings, season-long achievements, dual meet records, roster changes (such as injuries), and data from the SwimCloud simulator. It’s important to note that the poll is not intended to predict top finishers in a championship meet format.
The Drury men’s team (245) remains atop the Division II Men’s dual meet poll. Tampa (244), Indianapolis (230), and Grand Valley (221) all maintained their positions within the top four, while Wingate (210) moves up two spots into the top five. Findlay (162) made the most significant move up the poll, rising ten spots to 10th, while Rollins (59), Simon Fraser (36), Quincy (36), Missouri S&T (18) and Rockhurst (14) all made their way into the top 25 for the first time this year coming in at 19th, 22nd, 22nd, 24th and 25th respectively. A total of 30 teams received votes in this month’s poll.
On the women’s side, Nova Southeastern (246) edged out Tampa (244) for the top spot in the November poll. Drury (221) holds third place, with Grand Valley (220) and Colorado Mesa (219) rounding out a tightly contested top five. Simon Fraser (93) was the biggest mover, jumping eight spots to 17th. Saint Cloud State (41) appears at 21st and Florida Tech (20) at 24th, each making their debut in the top 25 this year. In total, 30 teams received votes in the women’s poll.
