10 Wide-Open Conference Races Not to Miss – Episode 132

As we step into the 2026 portion of the 2025-2026 Division III men’s basketball season the next couple months will be about how conference races play out. We have talked on previous episodes about some interesting dynamics shaping up in a few conferences but this week we take a deeper look at ten conferences that look to be the most wide-open.

What makes a conference race wide open? Using the D3 Datacast efficiency ratings and season simulations, we look at the ten conferences with the lowest automatic qualifier odds for their favorite. In these conferences, we see multiple teams in the mix with odds to secure the league’s automatic qualifier spread among the contenders.

Join us this week on The D3 Datacast for that and more as we get caught up on the picks, pick a new five-game slate against the computer line and wrap up with a big mailbag.
