D3 Rankings - Season 78 - updated 2/22/15 Topic

Hey folks, I asked Al Black if I could borrow his Dynasty ranking method for Rupp D3.  He was pleased to share the information... To qualify for the list a team needs to make the NT or PT four out of the last five seasons.  With his permission, I have slightly modified the calculations (point value for seasons that a team doesn't make the NT or PT are scored slightly differently in Al's method). 

If I have missed your school, please let me know.  I think I got them all. 

With that said, here is the list based on seasons 53 thru 57:

This list is why I came back to this world. It's shameful that the premier program in all of D3, Hardin-Simmons, has fallen off the big boy list. The Cowboys are going to take back their rightful place.

Defiance gets to do the "We're Number Six!" chant, where you hold up one index finger... and, unfortunately, the entire other hand.

Thanks for doing the work Brian!

Folks should also check out where they rank on the Billy G dynasty lists...

Rupp is world 3 by the way....

Unless I'm missing someone, it looks like J&W is probably #1 on the strength of this season.

It's also worth pointing out that the GNE is now at B+ conference prestige, which only the SEC can top in Rupp.  That's right, the lowly D3 GNE has a higher conf prestige than the ACC, among others.
