ATLANTA — Brigham Young is still the unanimous first choice, while the five top teams from last period all kept their spots in Week Six of the MCLA Division I New Balance Weekly Coaches Poll.
The Cougars (9-0) gobbled up all 27 first-place votes this week to retain the big chair for the second consecutive week and the fourth time this spring. Concordia-Irvine (8-1) keeps pace with Brigham Young, sitting at No. 2, although the Eagles sit 37 points behind the Cougars.
Clemson (10-1), Liberty (8-1) and Florida (11-1) reprise their roles as the Nos. 3-5 teams from last week.
UC Santa Barbara (4-5) parachutes out of the poll this week, making way for No. 24 Colorado (4-3) to reenter the club.
