Both major national rankings have Vermont debate doing well. Although they use slightly different formulas the rankings chart tournament results and ranks schools based on their competitive success. There are no "votes" by coaches or journalists, these rankings all come from tabulating wins and losses. The CEDA (Cross Examination Debate Association) ranking is administered by Jeff Jarman of Wichita State University. The NDT (National Debate Tournament) ranking is administered by Jim Hanson of Whitman College. These results will fluctuate as the season goes on, but it seems clear that UVM is headed for another very strong year. The top 125 schools are listed here so you can compare our performance with that of other schools.
