How These Rankings Are Calculated

Each college’s “Overall” number is a count of alumni currently active on four-year rosters — NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA — as of the 2026 reporting period. This is a cumulative, point-in-time snapshot of where a program’s alumni are playing now, not a measure of how many players transferred out during the current season. When two or more colleges have the same Overall alumni count, win percentage is used as the tiebreaker, with the higher win percentage ranking higher.
