Both the ITA and D1 Men’s Coaches released their polls today and both have the same teams 1 through 4 with USC, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Georgia but after that there are a few differences. See the image below to see the side-by-side comparison.
Here are the links to the respective releases for each poll and the College Tennis Online release has a good bit of detailed info about each team in the Top 10.
So what does everyone think – is there a team ranked too or low?
Based on these current rankings if the 16 teams slotted for the National Indoors in Chicago each win out these would be your likely pairings.
[1] USC vs. [16] Penn State
[8] Ohio State vs. [9] Texas
[5] Illinois vs. [12] California
[4] Georgia vs. [13] Columbia
[3] Virginia vs. [14] TCU
[6] Duke vs. [11] UCLA/Baylor
[7] North Carolina vs. [10] UCLA/Baylor
[2] Oklahoma vs. [15] Ole Miss
Offering a different perspectiveUTR Power6 ratings: <br /><br />UVA 87 <br />USC 86 <br />UGA 84 <br />OU 82
Can't argue with USC at 1. May actually switch Virginia and Oklahoma at 2 & 3. Illinois may continue to rise too. We'll learn a lot this weekend, though.
