Standing rules

What the numbers mean

Conference standings and overall standings answer different questions.

Conference W-L is the number that matters most now that Big Ten play has begun. A 10-2 conference record means a team won ten of its league matches and lost two.

Conference percentage is calculated from that league record. Early in the season, a team can have a perfect overall record while still sitting at 0-0 in conference play if it simply hasn't played its opener yet.

Overall record includes both conference and non-conference matches. Nebraska's 23 overall wins include 12 Big Ten wins and 11 non-conference wins.

The 2026 season also introduces an important distinction: the Big Ten will crown a regular- season champion and then hold its first conference tournament. The tournament winner becomes the league's automatic qualifier for the NCAA Tournament.
