How the NPI ranks Flagler
The NCAA Power Index is a data-driven ranking system used in NCAA Division II. Its formula considers wins and losses, strength of schedule and the quality of a team’s opponents when determining its NPI value and national ranking. Flagler’s NPI of 62.921 led the seven Peach Belt Conference teams listed in the Southeast Region rankings.
USCA ranked No. 52 with an NPI of 57.620, followed by Augusta at No. 173 with 48.598 and Georgia College at No. 192 with 46.810. Lander ranked No. 226 with 44.495, while Salem (W.V.) ranked No. 248 with 42.640 and Middle Georgia ranked No. 261 with 39.531.
