INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.--Concordia moved from fifth to third in today's NCAA West Region NPI ratings, with
Point Loma at fifth,
Hawaii Hilo eighth and
Biola 14th.
With conference tournaments beginning this week, this is the final rating before next Sunday's NCAA Selection Show.
Last week, Concordia was fifth (they were second two weeks ago), Point Loma was fourth, Hilo was ninth and Biola was 12th.
2026 marks a way to calculate the weekly rankings, which in the past was tabulated by a ratings committee. Now a National Power Index (NPI) will produce the list that eventually will determine what teams qualify for the NCAA postseason. To read more about NPI,

Ultimately, the conference tournament champions from the PacWest, the GNAC and the CCAA will gain automatic NCAA tournament berths, and the next four teams selected will come from this final list for a seven-team tournament.
Here is the top 10 (and Biola) for Monday, November 2.
