The seeding and pools for the USA Ultimate D-I College Championships are now public!
Here are the pools and schedules at for College Nationals! Ultiworld will be livestreaming five games per round from the D-I College Championships, with Field Pass returning and our studio show, Inside Out, keeping you informed and entertained.
D-I Women’s Division
Notes
- Our seeding predictions were 100% accurate.
- The big question mark for the seeding was how Victoria, Cal Poly SLO, and UC San Diego would be placed. By moving Victoria to Pool A, it minimizes Northwest and Southwest regional rematches, and Cal Poly finished higher than UCSD at SW Regionals.
D-I Men’s Division
Notes
- Our seeding predictions were very close to the final pools, with the only switch being Michigan and Washington. The two teams were only 10 points apart: the change was likely made to minimize Northwest regional rematches.
- The biggest question was how USAU would handle the Oregon/Colorado/Carleton trio. Colorado had just one loss on the year and went undefeated at the two biggest events of the regular season: Smoky Mountain Invite and Easterns. However, Oregon was #1 in the algorithmic rankings and was 1-0 vs. Colorado. USAU, as is typical, fell back on the rankings.
