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 3. Here’s the D1 rankings posted last week.
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.

The UAA is LOADED… wow
Centennial conference teams all missing for women?
Great job! Where is Ursinus College for the Women? Thank you!
If only the WPI men had faced Stevens and Rowan in an invitational meet, say in December, and beat them both handily….
Division 3
Trinity University (TX) women not listed.
They were 17th at 2016 NCAAs and were SCAC team champions for the 13th time in a row and are arguably better than last season. Other Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference teams are left out of this, as well. Seem to also be missing SAA teams.
My bad. “Southern Collegiate” came right after “Southern Califorinia” on the conference list so it accidentally got skipped. Updated now. Trinity ranks 43rd. SAA teams all appear to be present. (Search for “SAA” if you miss them scrolling through the page..Birmingham Southern is BSC if that’s who you’re looking for)
UNC men are missing from these rankings?? They would be very competitive at DIII nationals. Definitely have them in my top-5
This made me laugh, thanks!
