With men's soccer weighting, the WIAC has four of the NPI top ten.

Over the summer we did a show centered around whether or not NPI got the right #d3hoops MBB teams into the tournament. (Ep 114!)
A big takeaway that applies to all D3 sports is that NPI is best understood as ranking strength of the resume (W-L terms), not the team. Keep in mind!
