Here's a look at who is up and who is down after NCAA D-I men's regionals. Links to results from each regional are below.


UP
Oklahoma State
Making it to nationals for the 63rd straight year seemed pretty certain as the Cowboys were supposed to win at home this past weekend. Still, the convincing way they did so--winning by 22 strokes--suggests they might now be the favorites heading to nationals. After Kevin Tway is out of the lineup at Big 12s, his come back to win medalist honors at regionals is pretty impressive, and I don't know what got into Peter Uihlein of late but OSU fans have to like it. If Rickie Fowler and Trent Leon actually start clicking again, this squad could be dangerous

Big Ten Conference
It was safe to have assumed that conference champion Illinois would advance to nationals, but to see Iowa, Ohio State and Michigan all improve on their seeding and get out of regionals is quite the statement. Only real surprise is Indiana failing to join them at Inverness.

Jim Brown
“I really wanted to play my last tournament in Ohio,”  said Ohio State’s head coach, who is retiring at the end of this season after 36 years. Well the Buckeyes granted his wish, advancing to nationals for the first time since 1998 and the 19th time in Brown's Hall of Fame career. “I’m just so happy for the guys and if I could write a script for my list tournament, this would be it."

USC
The Trojans hung on at the West Regional despite playing with just four golfers in the final round after Jamie Lovemark withdrew with a muscle tear near his ribs. Freshman Steve Lim's career-best 66 saves the day. "It was the round of the year for us," said coach Chris Zambri. "Not even close."

College career bests in the final round of regionals
It wasn't just Lim who went low in their final 18 holes. Here's the complete list of players who set their career college bests Saturday.
Blayne Barber, UCF, Fr., 62 (Southeast)
Brad Schneider, UCF, Fr., 63 (Southeast)
Mark Silvers III, South Carolina, Sr., 64 (Southeast)
Bronson Burgoon, Texas A&M, Sr., 64 (West)
Eugene Wong, Oregon, Fr. 65 (West)
Steve Lim, USC, Fr., 66 (West)
Matt Van Zandt, Texas A&M, Sr., 67 (West)
Joe Monte, Georgia Southern, Soph., 68 (Southeast)

NCAA Regionals
New format with five teams coming out of six sites rather than 10 out of three adds some excitement. Plus, with miserable weather at three sites, the reduced field sizes allows for all play to get finished. And for those who say that it hurts higher ranked teams, consider that only five (Clemson, Indiana, N.C. State, LSU and San Diego State) of the top 25 in the final Golf World/Nike Golf coaches' poll failed to advance this year compared to 10 in 2008.



DOWN
Atlantic Coast Conference
Conference champion Georgia Tech struggles but advances. The same can't be said though for Clemson, the highest ranked team in the country to get bounced at regionals, N.C. State and Virginia Tech. Virginia becomes the ACCs one pleasant surprise during a tough weekend.

Marquette's Mike Van Sickle & Indiana's Jorge Campillo
The two player-of-the-year candidates saw their college careers come to an early end this weekend. Both now have to wait and see if N.C. State's Matt Hill, Washington's Nick Taylor or a dark-horse candidate lights things up at Inverness to claim the award.  

USC
The Trojans just haven't been the same since Jamie Lovemark broke his finger in March, even after he returned to the lineup. Now they must deal with Lovemark's latest injury and the uncertainty of whether he'll be able to play in Toledo and just how effective he'll be if he does get in the lineup.
