INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy football team slipped two spots to No. 5 in this week's NCAA Super Region Three rankings, released Monday. The Greyhounds remained in the thick of the playoff hunt, however, as the top seven teams from the country's four regions will earn berths in the 2019 NCAA Division II Playoffs.
Â
The postseason kicks off Nov. 23, the No. 1 seed in each region will earn a bye, while seeds 2-4 will host 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.

Â
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.
