The top five teams in the Oracle ITA Rankings held steady over the past week — all either went undefeated on the week or did not play. On Friday, No. 3 Tennessee added a solid 4-2 win over SEC foe and No. 12 Georgia to pad their resume.
While there was no movement within the top five, spots six through nine saw some reshuffling. Coming off back-to-back wins over Northwestern and Illinois (prev. No. 6), the Buckeyes jumped two spots to No. 7. The biggest change in the rankings came from the Oklahoma State Cowboys. After being ranked No. 14 the previous week, the Cowboys are checking in at No. 23 in this week’s rankings. This week on their trip out west, OSU suffered their first two losses of the season. They dropped two matches to USC and Pepperdine bringing their season record to 3-2.
The sole team entering the rankings this week is Memphis.
