ITA rankings vs Cracked racquet list

[jcgatennismom]

ITA team rankings (coaches poll from ITA Regional Chairs) published today. CR does not have #1 and #2 out but I assume they are the same as ITA. Biggest difference: ITA has Stanford at 12 vs CR at 7, ITA has Kentucky at 4 vs CR @8, ITA has Texas @8, CR has Texas at 4. ITA includes South Carolina in top 10: CR does not. ITA poll ranks SEC teams higher than CR.

Would agree with ITA on Stanford but disagree on UK now that Diallo is gone. Weekes had some success as a junior but he’s no Quinn, Basavareddy or Zheng. So would be a shock if he came in and got going immediately

I'd generally agree more with the CR rankings, but still have some discrepancies with both lists. I think TCU should definitely be considered a top 3 team. Like CR, I'm high on Stanford and lower on SEC schools (Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee back half of top 10, South Carolina closer to 15).
