Week 7 WNFC Rankings Are Out, and Tournament Positions Are On The Line

WNFC Rankings are determined by a combination of WNFC head football coaches and independent media (WFRC). Every week, coaches and the WFRC submit their recommendations for the top 17 teams in the league. The groups are asked to consider all factors, including the following criteria:

• Overall team records (standings)

• Strength of Schedule (based on season rankings)

• Head to Head results

• Comparison of results against common opponents

• Points against

Each voter is required to specify which position they feel each team should be in based on performance-to-date in the season, taking all factors they feel are relevant into consideration. A first-place vote is worth 17 points, a second-place vote is worth 16 points, and so on. The final conference tournament playoff teams seeding is agreed upon by the WFRC (Tie-Breakers will be resolved by WFRC) once all polling is complete. The final 8 teams standing to complete in the 2022 Conference Championship tournament will be announced on Selection Monday (May 23 at 9 pm Est on Vyre Network).
