Our XVs SportsPress standings page remains under construction. In the interim, standings can be viewed via “2023 | Current Standings” button. Explanations of DI Power Ratings & Ranking and DII & DIII Standings Points & Ranking systems can be found below button.
DI Power Rankings Determined by Power Rating in Descending Order:
Power Rating = (Team Rating + Weighted Win Percentage) / 2
Team Rating = Attack Rating + Defense Rating
Attack Rating is Calculated from Points For per Game
Defense Rating is Calculated from Points Against per Game
Weighted Win Percentage
Wins versus opponents with high Team Ratings have a more positive effect on weighted win percentage.
Wins versus opponents with low Team Ratings have a less positive effect on weighted win percentage.
Losses versus opponents with high Team Ratings have a less negative effect on weighted win percentage.
Losses versus opponents with low Team Ratings have a more negative effect on weighted win percentage.
Based on 2022 Results, Teams Sorted into 3 Pots
Pot 1 (2022 Playoff Teams): Army, Dartmouth, Harvard, Quinnipiac
Pot 2 (2022 Non-Playoff Teams): Brown, Mount St. Mary’s, Princeton, Sacred Heart
Pot 3 (2022 Non- D-I Postseason Teams): Long Island University, Navy, Queens

Pool B: Army (Pot 1), Long Island University (Pot 3), Mount St. Mary’s (Pot 2), Navy (Pot 3), Quinnipiac (Pot 1), Sacred Heart (2)
One Pool Crossover Game vs Same Pot Team to Ensure Two Opponents from Pot 1, Two from Pot 2, One or Two from Pot 3
