Swimulator calculates an invite power score for ranking teams by their chances to defeat other teams in an invite style meet (such as a conference meet or nationals).. This score is based on the power point scores of the top 3 events of the top 17 swimmers on a team from times so far this season (no diving included). The Swimulator top 25 rankings are based on this score. I dug a little deeper and grabbed the invite strength score for every team in Division 2. Here are the D1 rankings posted last week and the D3 rankings posted Tuesday.
These rankings are based on top times, which are mostly achieved at mid season invites, so the order of the top teams hasn’t changed too much since the last time we published the Swimulator top 25 rankings in January. However, this time the list includes every team in the division and I’ve added the ability to click each team’s name to pull up the Swimulator team stats. These include a ranking of the swimmers on each team by power points (the same methodology as the individual power rankings we published last week) and simulated conference and national win percentages.

When do you update?
It is unfortunate that xu passed away from Drury. She was a great competitor and a key player on their team as shown in this simulator. Very unfortunate that she is no longer with us. Very clear to see that her times boosted Drury to the top spot. She will be missed.
SFU men are only moving on up! Top 10 last year at NCAAs with 6 swimmers – predicting they go up a couple spots this year again
Soooo are you guys planning to update them?
GO TAMPA
Mckendree is missing
I believe Univ of Mary and Mckendree are absent as well.
Where’s Emmanuel college?
