After some more number crunching I have now compiled a Power Ranking of all the collegiate teams for ROAD. The points are derived from the USAC Ranking System, but are applied with an eye towards how the teams would do head-to-head under the start list restrictions at Nationals (4 riders in Criterium and 6 riders in the Road Race). Version 2 will incorporate the conference standings/results.

1. Milligan College - 4157.65 (varsity)
2. Marian University - 4229.6 (varsity)
3. University of Colorado Boulder - 5001.95
4. Lindenwood University - 5222.2 (varsity)
5. Stanford University - 5354.85
6. University of California-Davis - 5576.59
7. Fort Lewis College - 6095.78 (varsity)
8. Furman University - 6146.74
9. Virginia Polytechnic University - 6639.73
10. Midwestern State University - 6721.49 (varsity)
11. Columbia University-NYC - 7014.62
12. Colorado State University - 7025.19
13. Appalachian State University - 7176.2
14. Colorado Mesa University - 7332.95 (varsity)
15. University of Arizona - 7444.62
16. University of California-Los Angeles - 7586.58
17. Lees-McRae College - 7617.6 (varsity)
18. US Naval Academy - 7734.22
19. University of California-San Diego - 7794.33
20. University of Florida - 8016.05
21. University of Wisconsin-Madison - 8019.15
22. University of California-Berkeley - 8402.6
23. University of Vermont - 8474.83
24. University of California-Santa Barbara - 8483.83
25. Ohio State University - 8500.98
An interesting observation is that only 7 of the Top 25 teams are currently designated as varsity programs. This seems to support my thesis that splitting the divisions on varsity/club next season will be a mistake.
The Individual Rankings were updated for this week as well.
