The USTFCCCA release represents performances accumulated by teams in the 2010 outdoor season through last weekend as reported to the Track & Field Results Reporting System (TFRRS). Mathematical formulae are used to compile a team's ranking based on an athlete's or relay's standing in relation to others in the same event across the country.

A team's score in the national team rankings is a reflection of its “cumulative” chances as it relates ultimately to the NCAA Championships. The regional team index reflects a team's all-around strength in relation to other teams in their region.
