The fifth edition of the 2019 Tennis Channel/USTA College Tennis Top 25 Rankings were released on Wednesday, and some prominent schools are starting to find their strides.

There wasn't a single new addition to the men's Top 25 poll this week, and there was actually very minimal movement at all. Ohio State is still the No. 1 and Baylor moving from No. 11 to No. 10 is the only change inside the Top 10. But USC did make some noise with a win over rival UCLA. The Trojans are now the No. 11 and will be looking to keep rising in the coming weeks. Last week's ranking (No. 14) was the lowest for USC in the poll's three years.
