Final Rankings Raw Rankings Playoff Projections All .500 Teams

Projections view applied. Top-16 by overall ranking go to D1 automatically. Below that, a team is an auto-qualifier if it finished high enough in its league: 4-team league → top 2, 5–6 team → top 3, 7–8 team → top 4, 9+ team → top 5. Remaining auto-qualifiers are averaged across Divisions 2–9 (each division begins where the next auto-qualifier begins, in rank order). A team that misses its auto-qualifier cutoff but finishes overall at .500 or better is an "At Large" pick. Each division accepts up to 3 At Large teams; excess at-large picks are dropped from the bracket entirely.
