Rank: #1. Previously: #1. Record: 17-2. That's not a typo, and it's not a fluke. The Tigers sit exactly where they sat before, which in the current landscape might be the most impressive thing a team can do. Holding serve at the summit is harder than getting there, and this group has done it with only two blemishes across 19 contests.
The signal here is clear: this is a team that has answered every question asked of it and then asked a few of its own. Seventeen wins don't happen by accident — they happen through consistency, depth, and a refusal to blink. The Tigers aren't trending up because there's nowhere left to climb. They're trending steady, and steady at #1 is its own kind of dominance.
