With only the baseball College World Series remaining, the annual Directors’ Cups standings are coming into focus, and the SEC is leading the way in the top 25 among standings that factor sports across the board.

At the conference level, the SEC leads all Division I conferences with 7 institutions in the top 25: Florida (fifth), Kentucky (seventh), Arkansas (eighth), Tennessee (16th), Alabama (19th), LSU (20th ) and Georgia (21st).

Texas is leading the country, and the top 5 is rounded out by Stanford, Michigan, Ohio State and Florida.

While baseball still needs to finish, both Texas and Stanford are competing in the Baseball College World Series, and there are not enough points remaining for the Cardinal to catch the Longhorns who have 1376.50 total points to Stanford’s 1279.25 points.

Overall, 19 sports are counted in the final DI standings, 4 of which must be women’s volleyball and basketball and men’s basketball and baseball. The next highest (15 max.) sports scored for each institution, regardless of gender, are used in the standings.

Texas has done it mainly on the strength of its performance this spring, when the Longhorns have won 3 national titles, and 4 overall.

In addition to the national title, the Longhorns also compiled 6 runner-up finishes (men’s and women’s
swimming and diving, women’s indoor track and field, softball and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field).
Texas will have scored in the exact number of sports allowed, which is 19 total.
