A 1-0 win over arch-rivals Florida and a 4-0 victory on Sunday vs. College of Charleston were more than enough to keep the Florida State Seminoles in the #1 spot of our TopDrawerSoccer.com Tournament 64 National Ranking, updated today.

The ranking is an effort to project the postseason NCAA Tournament field of 64 each week, including the automatic qualifiers from every DI conference. The ranking update is posted each Monday after reviewing all results from the previous week.

There is a lot of movement throughout the list, with Duke rising to #2 and a number of other teams creeping up or down the list. New entries to this week’s ranking include strong starters Mississippi, BYU, Clemson and Washington, plus North Texas, Jacksonville State and Youngstown State in the Sun Belt, Ohio Valley and Summit automatic spots, respectively.

The complete ranking can be seen here.
