CSCAA Announces 2025-26 Dual Meet Polls Calendar, Committees
The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) on Wednesday announced its schedule and selectors for college dual meet polls in 2025-26.
Committees in each division of NCAA swimming will select polls monthly for the dual meet rankings, using head-to-head results as the top consideration. It is for dual meets, not for championship meet formats.
From the press release:
The mission of the polls is to produce an in-season ranking of the top 25 NCAA Division Swimming and Diving Teams in dual meet competition, in rank order, at the time of each poll. The poll is not designed to predict the results of the NCAA Championship, but rather which teams would win a head-to-head dual meet against other teams in the country. The committee will not attempt to differentiate between different meet types, formats, rested vs. unrested, etc.
Bill Roberts of the United States Naval Academy and New Mexico’s Naya Higashijima will chair the Division I committee. The Division II committee is lead by Brent Noble of the University of Indianapolis for the men and Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Chris Villa for the women. In Division III, it’s Sean Tedesco of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy on the men’s side and Hope College’s Jake Taber on the women’s.
The first CSCAA poll of the season will be released in Division I on Oct. 2, with D2 and D3 polls on Oct. 17.
