NCAA DI Rankings: Texas A&M, Clemson Now Lead The Way

 

April 24, 2012

 

NEW ORLEANS – It was a big week for moving among the top 25 of the USTFCCCA’s National Team Computer Rankings for NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field. For the first week of the outdoor season, only marks from the current season account for a team’s rankings (sans combined events). As a result, there are two new number-one teams to report – Texas A&M’s men and Clemson’s women. Florida’s men, the previous No. 1 slipped to No. 2 while national indoor champion Oregon women moved down four spots to No. 5. Oregon had been the No. 1 women’s team since the preseason.

 

Texas A&M is the three-time defending national outdoor champions and jumped three spots from No. 4 to take the top helm for the first time since May 31, 2011. Clemson, fresh off their third-straight ACC title, moved up two places to the top spot, and is No. 1 for the first time since the ranking system began in 2008.

 

On the men’s side, the new top five includes No. 1 Texas A&M, No. 2 Florida, No. 3 Arizona State, No. 4 LSU, and No. 5 Florida State. Arizona State moved up five spots from No. 8. No. 6 Southern California, No. 7 Indiana, and No. 8 Mississippi State all reached season-high rankings this week. Inside the top 25 the biggest mover up was No. 12 Oklahoma who moved up nine spots from last week. No. 23 Virginia is making their first appearance in the top 25 this season.

 

In the women’s rankings, No. 2 LSU has been the only team in the country to maintain the same ranking throughout the ranking season (five updates: preseason plus four weeks). Texas’ women made a five-spot leap to No. 3 which beats their previous season-best of No. 8. Florida also made a three-spot jump to land at No. 4. Among the top ten, season-best rankings were also handed to No. 7 Kansas, No. 8 Arizona, and No. 10 Arizona State. Illinois State, who made their first appearance in the national top 25 last week, propelled to No. 12 in this week’s update. No. 16 Louisville and No. 22 Ohio State are making their first showing in the top 25 this season.
