CT, should we be surprised that we got the #1 ranking?  My impression was that with the graduation of Lampl and Lee were were heading towards a bit of a rebuilding year.

Edit: Never mind, I just saw your post on the tennis thread.  We should be surprised.

Yeah, it's a bit surprising. I figured Top 5, for sure, but I was expecting UNC to be #1 and I wouldn't have been surprised at all to see UCLA ranked ahead of us. Either way, we're in the mix and have to win the tough matches, but yeah, we've got some unanswered questions. (In fairness to Lele, though, those questions usually get answered pretty positively. And when you keep getting a couple blue chip recruits each year, any "lows" for the program aren't gonna be that low.)

Women's water polo will likely be #1 at some point during the season (if not #1 preseason).

Women's golf was close to being #1 in the fall. Not sure if that happened. But that was with Lee and Valenzuela who have now gone pro.

I saw in Golfweek that we're the #3 preseason team, I think. And totally agreed on women's water polo. Once they hit that number, I'll add them to the list!
