The announcement was made from the CWPA office in Bridgeport, Pa., on Wednesday afternoon.
All but one program in the Golden Coast Conference (GCC) appeared in the initial CWPA poll, with five teams ranked and two receiving votes. Joined by Fresno State at No. 10 and Pacific at No. 13, the Aztecs are one of three GCC teams in the top 15 of the rankings. This is the third time since 2015 that the Aztecs are No. 15 in the CWPA preseason poll. The program was also No. 15 in the 2015 and 2017 preseason poll. The only better preseason ranking for SDSU came in 2018 when the team entered the season No. 12.
