Who’s had the best spring?
Which team is playing the best this spring? It turns out, the same team that is ranked No. 1 now and at the end of the fall season - Georgia.
But, there are also some other teams that have been playing very well since the start of the spring season that need to be recognized as we enter regional play.
The Pac-10 Conference is represented well on the spring rankings list starting with the Pac-10 Conference champs Washington. The Huskies have jumped to No. 3, and is certainly one of the hottest teams in the country. Oregon, ranked No. 85 at the end of the fall, checks in at No. 11 this spring, and Arizona is No. 20 after a fall ranking of 67.
Teams that might be heading the wrong way: Alabama was No. 4 to the end fall and is now No. 21. And the Big Ten duo of Illinois and Indiana have both slipped a bit this spring after stellar fall seasons.
Using the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, and only results from spring tournaments, we list the top men’s teams.
