Hounds debut at #6 in initial regional rankings

INDIANAPOLIS-  Winners of each of its last five contests, the UIndy football team earned the No. 6 spot in the season's first NCAA Division II Super Region Four rankings, announced by the NCAA D-II selection committee Monday. The Greyhounds (7-1, 4-0 GLVC) are on pace for their second straight playoff berth, as just six teams from each region will advance to the 24-team NCAA D-II Championships next month.
 
A total of 40 teams make up Division II's fourth "super region," as members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC), the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference (GLIAC), the Lone Star Conference (LSC) and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) comprise the lot.

Undefeated teams Colorado State-Pueblo and Ohio Dominican occupy the top two spots, while Saginaw Valley State, Midwestern State and West Texas A&M round out the top five.  The Greyhounds are the only GLVC team in the top 10.
 
The annual tournament will begin on campus sites Nov. 23.  The opening round will feature the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds hosting games versus the sixth- and fifth-seeded squads, respectively, while the top two teams will receive byes.  The bracket plays out on consecutive Saturdays until a champion is crowned Dec. 21.
 
Last season, the Hounds made their first postseason appearance since 1975 and first since joining Division II; UIndy earned the No. 4 seed and ousted fifth-seeded and visiting Midwestern State, 31-14, before falling at No. 1 Colorado State-Pueblo, 28-7, in the second round.
