Thanks to an impressive performance last weekend at the Stanford Invite, Oregon Ultimate jumped up 21 spots to become the new No. 2 in the D-I open division college rankings. Oregon finished the tournament with a 6-1 record with its only loss coming against Carleton College. They avenged that loss in the finals for the 15-11 victory and the title.
Now Oregon is only 10 points behind reigning No. 1 Wisconsin who struggled to a 5th place finish at the Standford Invite.
Even with the loss in the finals Carleton College's second place finish helped it to bust into the top 5 as it improved six spots from last week. The Tufts Men's team also had a strong weekend. After a fourth place finish at Stanford it finds its self in the No. 6 spot.
Minnesota, Texas and North Carolina are just a few of the teams to see their stocks fall after last weekend. Texas took the biggest hit among top 10 teams as it dropped six places and is narrowly holding on to No. 10 ahead of Florida.
Not to be out done the Oregon women went undefeated at the Stanford Invite and are now the new No. 1 in the D-1 women's division. Iowa is the new No. 2, and Ohio State jumped ahead 14 spots to be the surprise team in the women's top five.
Wisconsin's women made the biggest jump however as it improved to No. 8 this week. Last week this team was out of the top 25, and after losing to Oregon in the Stanford Invite finals Wisconsin saw its stock rise as it improved 18 spots from a week ago.
