The University of Virginia women continue their stranglehold atop the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Division I dual meet polls, ranking No. 1 for the fourth straight month.
See Previous Power Rankings Editions:
October November DecemberThe five-time defending national champions have gone undefeated so far this season, most recently topping Virginia Tech 201-87 last weekend. The Cavaliers also beat Penn State one week earlier, dominating the Nittany Lions 154-61.
The top four spots in the rankings remained unchanged from last month, with Texas sitting second, Stanford in third and Michigan in fourth.
The Longhorn women have not raced yet in the new year, prepping for the Eddie Reese Showdown this weekend at home. The Cardinal had a strong showing last weekend with back-to-back wins over UCLA (156-87) and USC (208-91), while the Wolverines edged out Indiana on Jan. 9 (154-146) and then topped Ohio State (162-36) last weekend.
The biggest mover inside the top 10 was Cal, which jumped up from seventh to fifth, while Louisville stood pat at sixth, Tennessee fell from 5th to 8th, and NC State moved up one spot to seventh.
The Golden Bears moved up to fifth after beating USC (156-40) on Friday and UCLA (179-120) on Saturday. Those victories came despite the team being without star freshmen Claire Weinstein and Teagan O’Dell, who were competing at the U.S. Open.
Tennessee’s fall to eighth came despite the Lady Vols not racing so far in 2026, scheduled to take on Georgia on Friday, and adding Japanese star Mizuki Hirai to the squad for the second semester.
The lone team that broke into the rankings was Texas A&M, which slots into 24th after sitting outside the rankings last month. The Aggies lost to Arizona in late December but rebounded with wins over Kentucky (151-47) and Vanderbilt (202-54) last weekend.
