Virginia and Vanderbilt finished atop the men’s and women’s rankings after each won the NCAA National Championship. Oklahoma finished #2 after holding down the top spot virtually the entire season.
TCU and Illinois swapped spots at 4 and 6 after the Illini went out in the Round of 16 while TCU made it all the way to the semifinals.
Columbia and South Florida moved into the top 16 which will give them both a chance to host a regional for next year’s National Team Indoors (assuming they put in a bid and it meets the qualifications). The regionals take place during the ITA Kickoff Weekend on January 22-24 and the participants for each regional will be decided early next week.
Ole Miss and Virginia Tech both fell out of the top 16 after losing in the 2nd round of the NCAAs.
Florida Gulf Coast came in at #75 which is the first time in school history that the Eagles have been ranked so congrats to CJ Weber and his team on an amazing accomplishment after a record breaking season.
The final singles and doubles rankings will come out next Tuesday.

They beat Baylor. Texas, Texas A&M, North Carolina(won and loss) and Ohio State(3 times). There losses was Georgia, Duke, North Carolina, TCU and Minnesota. They were 16-1 at home and won their conference. Their record was 27-5. In fact they played Texas, Texas A&M and TCU within 72 hrs. They didn't shy away from competition. A blanket statement without supportive facts saying they were ranked too high all season makes no sense. They were 24-0 at the 4 position with freshman winning 22 of the 24 matches at that position. The top 5 positions had one of the highest UTRS in the country.
Illinois ranked too high all season.
wonder if it will be possible for Ole Miss to host if Columbia chooses not to host or unable to host much like 2014 NCAA
