2012-2013 D3 Men's Regional Rankings

These regional rankings are not official. All data comes via d3hoops.com.

A few notes:
  • These rankings are based on the standard RPI formula with the strength of schedule modifiers in place (from the pre-championship manual).
  • I have changed the way I 'award' the Pool A bid. I'm now giving it to the team with the best conference record. In the case of a tie, it goes to the team with the higher RPI (versus all D-III teams).
  • For away games, a multiplier of 1.25 is being applied to SOS, and for home games, a multiplier of 0.75 is used.
  • Data comes via scores reported on D3hoops.com. Occasionally my updates come before all results from the previous night are in.
  • Pool B is listed at the bottom as a "region" (these teams are mixed in to their actual regions as well).
**Now using the "NEW" (and horribly constructed) OWP and OOWP calculation method!
