Team Tiers and Rankings

Teams each have a tier ranking and a recruiting region. Tier 1 teams are the best of the best and the most well-known. Tier 2 teams have the broadest range of skill and recognition. And finally Tier 3 teams are usually from smaller schools and/or have mediocre records.

These rankings are re-evaluated every pre-season. The pre-season rankings show the current rankings for the season. Below shows how the rankings determine the tier.

• Tier 1: 1–40
• Tier 2: 41–199
• Tier 3: 200–357

The recruiting region of a team is determined by the state where the school is located. There are five regions: Atlantic East, Midwest, Southeast, Great Plains, and West. If a school is based in California, their region would be West, for example. Refer to the map below to see which states belong to which region.
