CollegeSwimming.com produces a Power Ranking for Mid-Major Division I institutions. The mid-major rankings were designed to support and promote institutions that do not benefit from large football and basketball television agreements. Rankings are based on each team's best dual meet lineup as judged and submitted by participating teams. Rankings are announced four times throughout the season and entries are due on November 14 (Pre-Invite), December 20 (Post-Invite), February 6 (Pre-Conference), and March 6 (post-conference).
Harvard University led the men's rankings with Princeton University finishing first in the women's rankings.
