Around the rest of the conference, here's the state of play on Kick-Off Weekend:
#11 Cal plays host to #25 Georgia Tech, Princeton, and San Diego. They'll have to get past a pretty solid Princeton team today to have a shot at advancing.
#13 USC is the #2 seed in the Athens regional, so they'll have to beat Notre Dame and then #6 Georgia in Athens to advance.
#18 UCLA is the #2 seed in the Miami regional, so they'll have to beat #24 Iowa State and then the #10 Hurricanes in Miami to advance.
#19 ASU is the #2 seed in the Auburn regional, so they have to get past #23 UCF and then #15 Auburn. I like their chances best of all the 2 seeds, frankly, though while they get a more beatable top seed, that comes with a #3 seed that could absolutely beat them.
Utah is the #2 seed in the Chapel Hill regional, but don't let that fool you. They might beat UNC Charlotte today, but the only reason they're a #2 seed is because nobody else wanted to go to Chapel Hill and get worked by the Tar Heels.
Arizona is the #3 seed in the College Station regional, so they'll have to pull a brobdingnagian upset over #20 Florida today to even have a shot against #4 Texas A&M.
Oregon is the #4 seed in the Stillwater regional, so they get #14 Oklahoma State tomorrow and then likely #16 Michigan if they somehow pull that upset.
Washington State is the #4 seed in Charlottesville, and they're about to get whooped by #8 UVA.
USC lost 4-3 to unranked Notre Dame, which finished last season ranked #48, so that's as big of an upset as you're likely to see in college tennis.
Stanford's match has been pushed back to a 3:30 start time, as the courts apparently need to dry. Arkansas-FSU hasn't started yet.
