INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy football team stayed put at No. 5 in this week's NCAA Super Region Three rankings, released Monday. With one week left in the regular season, the Greyhounds remain firmly in the postseason picture, as the top seven teams from the country's four regions will earn berths in the 2019 NCAA Division II Playoffs.
The postseason kicks off Nov. 23, with the No. 1 seed in each region earning a bye and seeds 2-4 hosting first-round games. A new wrinkle was added this season, however, giving the NCAA DII Football Committee flexibility to shuffle seeds 5-7 out of region or in-region to a closer destination to cut down on the number of charter flights.

UIndy is looking to earn its third consecutive trip to the Division II playoffs and sixth overall. Last season, the Hounds secured a spot in the second round with a
38-27 win versus No. 19 Fort Hays State – their second-ever postseason victory.
