With Indoors finished, there was quite a shakeup in the Oracle ITA Team Rankings. After going 0-3 over the national championship weekend, former No. 1 USC fell seven spots to No. 8. No. 5 TCU (prev. 3) and No. 7 Texas (prev. 5) joined the Trojans in moving down the rankings after going 1-2 at Indoors themselves.
Reaping the benefits of a strong showing at Indoors are 2021 Indoors champions No. 1 North Carolina (prev. 2), runner-up No. 2 Baylor (prev. 4), No. 3 Tennessee (prev. 10), No. 4 Virginia (prev. 7), and No. 6 Illinois (prev. UR). The teams who competed at Indoors make up the entirety of the top eight rankings.
Entering the rankings this week are No. 22 Arizona State, No. 24 Mississippi State, and No. 25 Northwestern.
