INDIANAPOLIS-Â Coming off a quadruple-overtime win last week, the UIndy football team remained in fifth in the NCAA Division II Super Region Four rankings, announced by the NCAA D-II selection committee Monday. The Greyhounds (8-1, 6-0 GLVC) are on pace for their third straight playoff berth, as just six teams from each region will advance to the 24-team NCAA D-II Championships next month.
Â
A total of 42 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 Ferris State remained in the top spot, followed by a slew of one-loss squads. Ohio Dominican moved up to No. 2, switching spots with Colorado State-Pueblo. Colorado Mines remained in fourth, followed by UIndy, Michingan Tech and Ashland, et al.
The Greyhounds, who are unbeaten in Division II play, are the only GLVC team in the top 10.
Â
The annual tournament will begin on campus sites Nov. 22. 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. 20.
Â
Last season, the Hounds made a return trip to the postseason after advancing the second round in 2011. UIndy earned the No. 3 seed last year before falling, 27-14, to a talented West Texas A&M club.
