FYI, Mizzou doesn't do M Tennis so the NR would make sense. We do Wrestling instead and finished ranked #9.

Don't equestrian rankings seem kind of silly to brag about? There are only 18 schools in the NCEA so if you have a team you are ranked in a top 25?

I think Wrestling is silly as well when a school named Edinboro is ranked in the top 15

Edinboro is a Division 1 powerhouse. College wrestling is obviously a lot bigger deal than equestrian. Keep bragging about finishing in the top half of equestrian though. About the same as being #50 in football. Quite an accomplishment. Anyway I think equestrian is a cool sport to have, I just think it is silly to brag about it.

Our spring sports are really improving Softball, Track, Tennis, Swim/Dive is all good. I'm glad too see our men's track program finally recovering. For a while the women's coach was coaching both - IIRC he, maybe she, was very good but it's far too much to ask 1 coach to coach both teams. I'd love to see swim/dive get back to being above the top 20 for the men (in track we have team USA best for heaven's sake! and c'mon where are our ladies? we also have olympians in swim) but we had a coach change there (and no, UT was not to blame for that one) but it's a pattern nonetheless, mostly of Hamilton's incompetence. Mess doesn't begin to describe what ex-AD Mike Hamilton left.

As to the SoftVols...they won the hearts of America last year at the World Series. It's fantastic to see them keep building on their success. Those girls are not just good but their damned fun to watch -- a team that's easy to fall in love with because of how they play (they were shocked at all the love they got after Omaha from not just Vol Nation but around the US but that just makes them more endearing,imo).

Thanks for posting. Congrats to everyone rep'n the SEC with excellent spring sports rankings.

Only team not ranked for UF is men's golf, and that used to be one of the premier programs in the country. Don't know what has happened, definitely time for the coach to retire. It is unacceptable to not be better in the state of Florida.

Not bragging about it... merely pointing out the ranking

Luckily your baseball team jumped into the rankings after last weekend
