NCAA Division III Softball -- Iterative Strength Ratings
Last updated: Sun Mar 29 15:48:27 2026
Note: Strength of schedule rank is for games to date. Only teams who have played at least ten Division III games are listed. Ratings are updated daily around 6:30 Central Time.
Teams from conferences which are not playing non-conference games this year are not included in the rankings, as there is no way to compare them to teams from inter-connected conferences.
