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.
