Laney breaks into the top 3 under Raw APS, replacing Solano — despite Solano and Laney both having 13 total alumni, Laney’s alumni are concentrated more heavily at NCAA D1 and D2, giving it more weighted value. By Efficiency APS, Marin leads the conference at 4.55 — its small, concentrated alumni group (7 D1, 7 D2 out of 16 total) places at a higher average level than Los Medanos’ larger group. Los Medanos and Marin posted an identical 27-15-0 record this season — but Los Medanos’ Raw APS (110.4) is more than 37 points ahead of Marin’s (72.8), a reminder that similar win-loss results don’t always mean a similar alumni pipeline.

How These Rankings Are Calculated

Each college is ranked by Alumni Placement Score (APS) — a weighted measure of alumni currently active on four-year rosters, giving more weight to higher levels of four-year competition. Overall alumni count is shown for reference. See the full APS methodology for the exact formula, division weights, and Efficiency APS definit Raw APS reflects an alumnus’s current four-year level, not necessarily a level the program directly placed them into — a JUCO’s directly attributable contribution is the initial transfer, and any later move between four-year programs reflects the player’s own path more than continued involvement from the original two-year program. See what “placement” means in APS for more.
