The Longhorns are coming off a 2018-19 campaign that saw Texas finish the dual meet season undefeated and record their third straight top-six finish at the NCAA Championships.
UT will face four of the TYR Top 25 during the 2019-20 season, including hosting No. 19 Kentucky to open the season. They will also compete in the four-day Minnesota Invitational.
The rankings are voted on by CSCAA-member coaches. Each committee includes 9 spots from the Power Five leagues and five at-large spots from non-P5 leagues. The women and men committee chairs are Naya Higashijima (SMU) and Bill Roberts (Navy). The next poll is scheduled for release on October 23rd.
