It's all just points based on the ranking of the teams you beat and lose to. The difference between us is trivial -- less than a point (out of ~46).
Correct. The computer rankings ignore head to head, but if these were the rankings at the end of the season, the NCAA tennis committee does take head to head into account for the purposes of NCAA tournament seeding. So, if this were the end of the year, they'd swap us--we'd be the 11 seed and Georgia Tech would be the 12.
So, nothing to worry about yet, and frankly, the higher Georgia Tech climbs, the better for us. So, here's hoping they do well in the ACC and Michigan rolls through the Big Ten (and UCLA beats everyone else they play, except for us in the regular season and at Pac-12s).
