When does the first top 100 ranking come out?
All schools are ranked by LaxPower.com. Go there.
Laxpower is not an official ranking organization. They report the weekly IWLCA rankings and have a weekly forum poll. Some of the voters on the forum polls are extremely knowledgeable, some are complete homer kooks. They also have a computer ranking system which tries to compensate for win, loss, strength of schedule, quality wins,etc... As you know stats don't tell the story so the computer rankings are often sketchy at best. But it is a good site especially for a game by game breakdown of all relevant teams.
