2011 College Season Rankings
Open Division - End of 2011 Regular Season
The College Season Rankings will be run weekly on Wednesdays through the end of the season, using data from games between rostered college teams at USA Ultimate sanctioned events from January 1st through April 3rd, 2011. The algorithm in use is the Top25 algorithm written by USA Ultimate Hall of Famer Sholom Simon. More information on the bid allocation process is available in the college season guidelines.
Rankings Status: Final
NOTES:
- the below rankings use a 10-game threshold for inclusion, and do not include games for teams that failed the roster eligibility comparision for an event. The list of teams that failed roster comparisons for an event is listed in the notes field of that event.
- additional versions of the rankings will be run after the Conference Championships, Regionals, and Nationals
- for more event results and team information go to the score reporter
