October 17, 2025 – The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has released the October edition of the Division II Top 25 dual meet poll, with the Drury men and Tampa women claiming the top spots to begin the year.
The poll is voted on by a committee of Division I coaches who evaluate and rank the nation’s top 25 dual meet teams. Considerations include head-to-head dual meet results, recent performances since the previous poll, season-long outcomes, dual meet records, roster changes (such as injuries), and data from the SwimCloud simulator. It is important to note that the poll is not intended to predict championship meet finishes.
The Drury men’s team (240) opens the season atop the Division II Men’s Dual Meet Poll. Tampa (238) and Indianapolis (231) follow closely in second and third, while Grand Valley (228) and Colorado Mesa (212) complete the top five. A total of twenty-seven teams received votes in this month’s poll.
On the women’s side, Tampa (247) claims the top spot in the October rankings, narrowly edging Colorado Mesa (243), who sits second. Indianapolis (218) follows in third, just ahead of Grand Valley (217) and Nova Southeastern (213), rounding out a tightly contested top five. Thirty-two teams received votes in this month’s edition of the poll.
*Dual meet records are sourced from each institution’s website.
