Colorado State Pueblo is No. 2 in Super Region Four and No. 5 nationally in the latest NCAA Division II rankings that shape playoff selection. The undefeated ThunderWolves lead the RMAC rankings after edging Black Hills State, 38-31.

By the Numbers
  • CSU Pueblo is 9-0 overall and 7-0 in the RMAC, with an NPI of 64.118.
  • Harding leads Super Region Four at No. 1 with an NPI of 67.031; Western Colorado is No. 5 at 61.450.
  • The top eight teams qualify for the Division II playoffs; four conference champions receive automatic bids.
Yes, But

These rankings are not a playoff berth: the NPI standings remain subject to change, and the final four at-large selections will be determined after the regular-season games on Nov. 14.

State of Play
  • Four Super Region Four teams are among the national top 10.
  • Western Colorado is also 9-0, but sits three places behind CSU Pueblo in the region rankings.
  • The NPI weighs strength of schedule more heavily than winning percentage, and includes only Division II games.
What’s Next

CSU Pueblo will look to protect its position as the remaining games reshape the regional standings. The final NPI rankings, released after Nov. 14, will determine the playoff field and seeding.

Bottom Line

CSU Pueblo has put itself in a strong position, but its playoff place is not yet secured; finishing the season strong remains essential.
