February 6, 2026 – The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has released the February edition of the Division II Top 25 dual meet poll, with the top ten remaining the same for both the men and the women from the January rankings.
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.
Drury (250) continues to lead the Division II Men’s Dual Meet Poll heading into the conference championship season. Indianapolis (238), Tampa (231), Colorado Mesa (220), and Grand Valley State (210) kept the top five static. The poll stayed pretty comparable to January with every team either remaining in the same spot or moving just one position. Twenty-Nine teams received votes in the February edition of the poll.
On the women’s side, Tampa (245) also remained atop the February CSCAA Division II rankings. The rest of the top five was also unchanged with Nova Southeastern (236) in second, Colorado Mesa (232) in third. Drury (227) and West Florida (210) rounded out the top five in their same positions from the prior poll. The biggest mover was Biola (27) who jumped up three spots to claim 22nd. Wayne State (16) was back in the poll for the first time since November coming in 25th. A total of 28 teams received votes in this month’s poll.
