Clemson cracked the top 5 this week on the strength of wins against South Florida and Wake Forest, with Junior Diego Campos delivering the only goal in the Tigers 1-0 win against the Demon Deacons.
The Top 4 in the SBI College Soccer Top 25 was unchanged this week, marking the first time this season we didn’t see a shakeup at the top.
Indiana moved up after winning its in-state battle against Butler to keep its unbeaten record intact heading into Tuesday’s high-profile showdown with Notre Dame.
San Diego State’s improbable run up the Top 25 continued after an overtime win against Washington. The Aztecs will have a chance to climb even further with a win on Saturday against UCLA.
Kentucky and Michigan State have broken into the Top 25 as the new teams in the mix, with the Spartans boasting six shutout wins in their past seven matches.
