FINAL SEASON RANKING 2019 – 18th 2018 – 10th 2017 – 19th 2016 – 20th 2015 – 14th 2014 – 15th 2013 – 10th 2012 – 6th 2011 – 10th 2010 – 11th
THE 2019 STORY Arkansas finished 2019 with one of its weaker rankings historically at just 18th place, but after a season spent at #20, Arkansas will feel that the way things ended—a respectable 5th-place result at SECs and then coming just .125 from making the regional final—was a high note. At times during the year, it looked like things would go worse than that.

FINAL SEASON RANKING 2019 – 16th 2018 – 14th 2017 – 15th 2016 – 11th 2015 – 6th 2014 – 20th 2013 – 13th 2012 – 15th 2011 – 19th 2010 – 19th
THE 2019 STORY Auburn spent the entirely of its 2019 season in the 11-13 ranking zone and will therefore feel that a final placement of 16th—largely informed by an unforeseen bars disaster in the regional final—understates the team’s quality. Which is probably true. It’s Auburn’s weakest finish of the last five years but not its weakest team.

BUT WHAT ABOUT HAMLINE?!?!?!
That’s right, the NCAA coaches’ preseason poll is out, and it’s as fun and pointless as ever.
Sadly, there’s nothing too, too dramatic going on. Clearly, my petition for at least 5 coaches to submit a joke ballot was denied once again.

FINAL SEASON RANKING 2019 – 11th 2018 – 9th 2017 – 16th 2016 – 7th 2015 – 18th 2014 – 16th 2013 – 28th 2012 – 49th 2011 – 50th 2010 – 55th
THE 2019 STORY Cal’s 11th-place finish in 2019 ranks among the better results the team has put up since it turned good, so the 2019 story should be a mostly satisfying one. The team rose at the end of the season, even withstanding the Toni-Ann Williams injury to put up a valiant effort and program-record team score in a nearly impossible regional final—going up against Oklahoma and Home Georgia and ultimately finishing .375 short of making nationals.
