Thanks, Kuiper.  I will still be posting on the UAA and NESCAC pages a complete list of where each of those respective teams in those leagues are ranked nationally in the NPI rankings at the time of the publishing of each summary report.     This thread can be dedicated to who among the DIII men's soccer teams look solidly in at this point vs who would be among the last 7 "bubble" teams in to the tournament field, (or first 7 "bubble" teams out of the tournament field) if the selections were done at the time of each summary report rather than at the end of conference tournament play.

Kuiper, let me know if you want me to move my bubble posts over to this thread, I started one titled NPI bubble and planned to maintain it but can merge here. I link the NPI each week there and also enjoy the detail posted on UAA and NESCAC threads.

I certainly don't mind having two threads, but I decided to create a main thread when I heard Simple Coach mention on his pod that he had trouble finding the rankings (which, to be fair, is because the NCAA doesn't exactly make it easy to find).  It's probably easier for people who are just curious and trying to get a lay of the land and not already aware that their school is close to the line or a member of a NPI-rich conference if a thread about bubble teams is part of a thread that has the full rankings.
