Strength of schedule

The NCAA Division III playoff selection committee determines strength of schedule using opponents' winning percentage and opponents' opponents' winning percentage. A team's SOS is two-thirds opponents' winning percentage (OWP) and one-third opponents' opponents' winning percentage (OOWP).

Those numbers follow, calculated by PrestoSports.

We've sorted these teams by their strength of schedule. This is only part of the process used to determine who will get selected to the NCAA playoffs.

Records and winning percentage are based on all games vs. full Division III opponents.

Only games which have been played so far are counted here.

OWP: Opponents' winning percentage. OOWP: Opponents' opponents' winning percentage. SOS: two-thirds OWP and one-third OOWP.

These numbers are more of a guidepost for the committee. There is no established standard for what it takes to be chosen as an at-large team, and in fact, teams in conferences with 10 members will always have their SOS trend toward .500 because of the high number of conference games. However, it is still something that is used in the selection process, which is why we note it here.
