The Tigers (17-2) hold at #1 in the latest men's lacrosse Top 25, while the Blue Devils made the poll's biggest leap, surging nine spots from 13th to 4th. The Fighting Irish (13-3) climbed one rung to #2, and the Orange (13-6) rocketed from 7th to 3rd — turning the top five into a completely different portrait than a week ago.
The slide is just as dramatic. The Cavaliers plummeted from 4th to 11th — the hardest fall in the rankings — while the Spiders (14-2) tumbled from 2nd all the way to 7th despite a gaudy record. The Big Red also dropped five spots to 10th. The message from voters is unmistakable: win percentage alone won't protect you.
Meanwhile, the Red Foxes (12-5) crashed the party at #20 after sitting outside the poll entirely. The Tigers are the king. Everyone else is just fighting for position.
