2011 College Season Rankings
Open Division - March 30th, 2011
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.
NOTES:
- Correction: the original release of this edition of the rankings has SW listed as having 3 wildcards, when they should have been 2. Northwest was listed as having 3 when they should have had 4. (3/31/2011)
- the below rankings currently use a 5-game threshold for inclusion, but the end of season rankings will use a 10 game cutoff.
- these rankings do not factor in the roster comparison that will be run for the end of regular rankings which determine bid allocation in the series.
- the wildcard watch does not currently include conference strength bid breakdowns, but may in future news items
- for more event results and team information go to the score reporter
- please send any corrections to matthew@hq.usaultimate.org
