Ultiworld’s College Power Rankings, presented by the National Ultimate Training Camp. NUTC is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this summer!
While our College Power Rankings can always be found on our permanent rankings page, every week during the season we will post the current edition here on the front page to facilitate discussion in the comments and serve as a permalink for each week’s rankings.

D-I Women’s Division Discussion
- The only movement this week comes from the addition of Southern California. The Hellions handily demolished everyone not named UC Santa Cruz at Stanford Open, and even in those losses put up better scorelines than BYU or Oregon.

D-I Men’s Division Discussion
- Florida Warm Up thoroughly shook up our preseason notions. Vermont vault into the top 10 with a semifinal showing, going undefeated against all but the tournament winners, Carleton CUT. Pittsburgh benefit from a similar climb after making the championship bracket, thanks mostly to a nice win over Michigan.
- Brown also receive a slight bump, barely missing semis after a universe point loss to Michigan in one of the windiest ultimate games you’ll ever see.
- Wisconsin and Virginia enter the backend of the rankings after 4-1 match play results put them into the 9th place FWU bracket, where both beat Northeastern to slot ahead of the Huskies.
- Georgia Tech has some reconfiguring to do after a tough 3-4 weekend that only produced wins over unranked teams, and universe point losses to BYU and Wisconsin. They’re out of the Top 25 for now.

D-III Women’s Division Discussion
- Teams (finally) took to the fields this past weekend at Stanford Open and Antifreeze to great success. Lewis & Clark made the semifinals of Stanford Open, only losing to teams seeded above them. Along the way Artemis matched up against new-to-D-III Santa Clara RAGE, defeating them 8-5.
- Not a bad showing for Santa Clara, who also made quarters. RAGE enter the rankings at #15, above a Portland team they beat 8-6 in consolation play.
- Rice took down Antifreeze, beating Trinity twice along the way. While Trinity will want to see that scoreline flipped come South Central Regionals, the 10-6 pool play loss boosts Altitude up to #20.

D-III Men’s Division Discussion
- Picture, in the rankings above, a chasm between #1 Middlebury and everyone else. We can’t put them any higher than the top spot, but after coming in 10th at Florida Warm Up with wins over ranked D-I teams in Virginia and Wisconsin, as well as a close loss to Minnesota, we wish we could.
- Despite technically finishing lower at FWU overall, Oklahoma’s brutal strength of schedule – highest at the tournament through match play – and respectable scores against teams like Brown and Carleton CUT see them leap frog Ave Maria.
- Four of Berry’s last five games at FWU went to universe, and the other was decided by just two. Two of those games were wins, one coming over Texas A&M, which vaults them into the top 20.
- Just like their women’s division counterparts, Santa Clara enter the rankings this week. SCAB posted an even 3-3 record at Presidents’ Day Qualifiers and made semifinals after taking down Southern California. They knock out inactive Lipscomb, who nonetheless have a chance to earn their way back in next week with solid play at at Golden Triangle Invitational.
